***RAV DAHAN VA'YAKHEL-PIKUDEY' SHABAT MINCHA

בס"ד

הרב שמעון דהן,

שבת 'פיקודי-ויקהל', מנחה, כז באדר התשס"ז

מקורות לעיון: עין יעקב מזכת עבודה זרה סימן: נה

סימן נ"ה בעין יעקב בעבודה זרה מדבר על ענייני רפואה : יש שאלה האם מותר להתרפא ע"י רופא השייך למינות (כפירה) כפי המעשה שמביאה הגמרא עם בן דמה שהיה בן אחותו של ר' ישמעאל.

ר' ישמעאל לא נתן לרופא הכופר לטפל בבן דמה, ובן דמה בקש מר' ישמעאל שיניח לו לרפאותו אבל זה עוד לא הספיק להמתין וכבר יצאה נשמתו ומת. ור' ישמעאל אמר עליו : "אַשְׁרֶיךָ בֶּן דָּמָה שֶׁגוּפְךָ טָהוֹר וְנִשְׁמָתְךָ יָצְאָה בְּטַהֲרָה, וְלֹא עָבַרְתָּ עַל דִּבְרֵי חֲבֵירֶיךָ שֶׁהָיוּ אוֹמְרִים, (קהלת י) "וּפּוֹרֵץ גָּדֶר יִשְׁכֶנּוּ נָחָשׁ" ומכאן והלאה הגמרא מכניסה אותנו לברור המקרה הזה והדינים שנלמדים ממנו למקרים שבהם אסור להתרפא מגוי שיש בו כפירה (ששייך למינות).

המעוניין להעמיק לפסקי ההלכות, בהלכות של רפואה ע"י גוי מוזמן לעיין : שולחן ערוך יורה דעה סימן קנה סעיף א.

נשאלה השאלה מדוע ישכנו נחש? והעניין הוא שזה נחש של תלמידי חכמים שמי עובר על דבריהם אותו נחש הזה נושך אותו שכל העובר על דברי חכמים אין רפואה למכתו.

הרב דהן הסביר שהסוד הוא כזה ידוע שכל תרופה כל מאכל שיהיה יש בו רכיבים שהם מן הצומח, רשום "אין עשב שלא ממונה עליו מלאך ואומר לו גדל" הרפואה שיש באותם צמחים היא מכח המלאך המגדל אותם (מלאך=מאכל) אבל השאלה היא מה האוכל של המלאך שמגדל את אותו העשב והתשובה לכך היא: דברי תורה של תלמידי חכמים הם שממשיכים את השפע למלאכים האלה המגדלים את סוגי הצומח הקיימים.

כאשר אדם חולק או עובר על דברי חכמים אז המלאכים הממונים על אותו עשב ספציפי שבו טמונה רפואה, שאוכלם של המלאכים הללו הרוחני הוא מכח אותו תלמיד חכם, מקפידים על אותו אדם שעבר על דברי תלמידי חכמים ואז לאדם הזה אין רפואה מאותו עשב או צמח ולא משנה כמה ישתמש בזה אם המלאך מקפיד על אותו אדם אזי מתקיים באותו אדם "אין רפואה למכתו" בגלל שנשך אותו אותו נחש של תלמידי חכמים בגלל שפרץ גדר התורה.

ומדוע דווקא רק מרופא שיש בו כפירה ושייך למינות אסור לקחת תרופה כי החשש הוא שאם מדובר בהצלת חיים אז האדם הלוקח רפואה מרופא כופר כזה, אז הוא לא ישכח אותו לעולם ותמיד יזכור לו טובה, ושוכח את בוראו, ובזה גם כן תכנס באדם הזה גם הכפירה של אותו רופא וממילא אין תרופה למכתו.

אף על פי שרשום "וחי בהם" יש מקרים בהם אדם ימסור על עצמו ולא יתרפא במחיר מצוה הבאה בעבירה:

ועוד מעשה וסימוכין ואפילו אם רופא אומר שרפואתו של אדם תלויה באשה נשואה, ימות ולא יתרפא ממצוה הבאה בעבירה כפי המובא על מר עוקבא שהיה בעל תשובה בגלל שמסר עצמו בניסיון של ניאוף ולא עשה את העבירה:

מר עוקבא בעל תשובה הוא, שנתן עיניו באשה אחת והעלה לבו טינא ונפל בחולי, ואשת איש היתה, לימים נצרכה ללות ממנו ומתוך דוחקה נתרצית לו, וכבש יצרו ופטרה לשלום ונתרפא, וכשהיה יוצא לשוק היה נר דולק בראשו מן השמים ועל שם כך קרי ליה ר' נתן צוציתא במסכת שבת (נו, ב), הכא נמי להכי כתבו ליה הכי על שם האור שהיה זורח עליו.

ויש מקרים שבהם יש פיקוח נפש ויש מצוה לעבור ההלכה כמו בעניין פיקוח נפש והצלה ע"י גוי. (פסקי הלכה : מקורות שולחן ערוך אורח חיים סימן שכח)

סוד המחלה ע"פ פנימיות התורה:

ידוע ע"פ הקבלה שחטא אדם הראשון ביום שישי הוא הפיל לעולמנו זה ניצוצות קדושה הנקראים רפ"ח (גימטריה 288) שאותם עם ישראל מברר וזו תכלית של נשמות עם ישראל לברר זה הרפ"ח כל שנות הגלות שבו נמצא, זה היה פגם שאדם הראשון פגם בדבור של בורא עולם כי רשום "ברוך שאמר והיה העולם" ואדם הראשון פגם בבחינה הזו של הדבור, הניצוצות הללו נפלו כאן בעולמנו זה וע"י שאנו עוסקים במצוות בתורה ומעשים טובים אזי נתקנים הניצוצות האלה שנפגמו בחטא אדם הראשון וחוזרים לשורשם, אבל כאשר אדם עושה עבירה באבר מסויים אז הוא מוריד את אותו ניצוץ מהרפ"ח ניצוצות קדושה שהיה אמור לתקן, לעמקי הסטרא אחרא ואז באותו אבר מתגלה מחלה בגופו.

בתפילת 18 יש חתימה שנקראת "רופא חולי עמו ישראל", רחע"י=גימטריה 288= רפ"ח.

כשאדם מברר את הרפ"ח האלה כראוי מכח מצוות עשה ומצוות לא תעשה אז זוכה הוא לרפואה מהקדוש ברוך הוא ולא שולטת בו מחלה זה שרשום "כל המחלה אשר שמתי במצרים לא אשים עליך כי אני ה' רופאך עץ חיים היא למחזיקים בה ותומיכה מאושר "......

אדם המכוון בברכות מספיק שיכוון לאותיות רפ"ח כשמגיע בברכה כלשהי שתהיה, לתיבות (מילות) מלך העולם אז הוא מעלה את אותם ניצוצות הקדושה שנפלו ובזה זוכה לרפואה ולא תשלוט בו מחלה. כי הרפח הוא כל סוד עבודת השם וכשהרפח הזה עולה לשורשו אז אדם נענה בתפילותיו ומתקבלות מלפניו יתברך. וזה עושה נחת רוח גדול לשם יתברך.

PARASHT 'VAYAKHEL-PIKUDEY' 23 Adar/March 14

בס"ד
23 Adar/March 14
Parashat va'yakhel-pikudey listen/download HERE

Vayakehl is gathering. Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, gathered Am Israel on Shabbat. The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that Moshiach is depended on one full gathering. HKB'H is not waiting for Am Israel to be Tzaddikim, we need only to gather.

The days of the week came to HKB'H, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, etc. HKB'H turned them into couples - Sun. & Mon is a couple. Tues. & Wed. is a couple. Thurs. & Fri. is a couple. HaShem coupled Am Israel with the Shabbat.

HKB'H did not reveal what is and isn't allowed on Shabbat. The Chachamim learned the Halachot from the Mishkan - each thing that Am Israel build for the Mishkan is forbidden on Shabbat - painting, building, etc. Cutting up a tomato is allowed but it's forbidden to go to the field and pick a tomato from a tree.

The world has 6 sides. The 4 sides of South, North, East, West and 2 sides of up and down. What is the 7th? Shabbat - day of rest. We need to Lekadesh (make holy) the Shabbat. What is to Lekadesh? We learn this from the woman, how to make holy a woman. The single girl belonged to everyone but once she was chosen and she chose a man, the woman belongs to the man by the man mekadesh (make holy) the girl. It can never be vise versa, the man buys her for minimum Pruta (2-3 dollars). This is the ring or anything (it can even be a fruit) that the man gives the woman, and the Rav asks 2 witnesses if the ring is worth at least a Pruta. The gemara never talks about purchasing the woman rings. Rambam, zs'l, says that a man who takes a woman to live with him, they are considered married.

According to the Sod (secret), the 6 days of the week is considered belonging to everyone, like a single girl. And Shabbat is holy and belongs to one (not to the public), like a married woman. Whomever prepares for Shabbat, the letters of holiness lights up. The need to smoke, worrying about money and bills disappears - it is a miracle of miracles. A baal Teshuva smokes 3 packs a day and comes Shabbat, he feels no need to smoke - it is an amazing miracle and against all logic. Someone who doesn't taste Oneg Shabbat (pleasures of Shabbat), must search within themselves to correct their ways.

Yesterday, I was inteviewed by Reb Gideon and he asked me why is this generation suffering so much from lack of couples, so many divorced and single people. One time a mother and daughter came to me and I asked the mother why is her daughter not married yet, she was 26-27 years old and the girl answered that she's just a little girl, not ready to get married. She is busy learning in a college, travelling, having fun. When will she have children? Maybe she will be lucky to have a son when she is 38-40 years old.

There is a halacha that a person must feel pain of Am Israel. I have much pain to see many single and divorced people. There are so many separations between couples. The Gemara says: 'Since HaShem's house is destroyed, Am Israel should feel HaShem's pain'. Am Israel needs to feel the need to build a home for HKB'H - this is a Chupa (marriage ceremony). HKB'H is waiting for Am Israel to find Him.

Rabbi Natan, zs'l, talmid of Rabbi Nachman, zs'l, came to his Rav and his Rav saw his Talmid's shoes torn. He asked him why is he wearing such shoes and the talmid said that he doesn't have money to purchase or fix the shoes. Reb Nachman told the Talmid to ask this request from HKB'H and if he doesn't ask, he doesn't have enough Emunah that HKB'H can fix the shoes... We must ask from HKB'H all our needs and wants, whether it's a shoelace, understanding, or a sock. I must tell you, I asked HaShem for a pair of shoes for Shabbat and in the same week, HKB'H gave me 3 pairs of shoes. This is the way it works. Personally, I don't feel the need for clothing but when the clothing gets shabby and is torn, it can no longer be worn. I don't have money to purchase new clothing and I ask HaShem to send me new clothing - I am telling you, it's unbelievable the way HaShem sends the person's requests! The Arizal cried to HKB'H the whole night to understand an inyan in the Sefer...

One day, my father, zs'l, was sitting with the Baba Sali, zs'l on Shabbat and were eating, saying Divrei Torah and drinking Arak (tradition of South African Jews). The Arak bottle had 2 drops left and the Baba Sali covered the bottle with a towel and filled all the empty glasses with Arak. He removed the towel and the Arak bottle was full. My father saw this with his own eyes.

The autistics were asked how can this generation be saved? They all unanimously answered "Do Chesed" - this will be your link to be saved. The Kabbalah says that each person that helps and does Chesed, HaShem takes the Chesed and turns it into protection.

Shabbat is 7 - everything that is seven is very loved by HKB'H. Fish (dag) in gematria is 7, meat (basar) is 7 - everything is connected to Shabbat Kodesh. The Kabbalah says that Seven is female. Everyday of the week is to connect to Shabbat.

In all food, there is a more delicious part. Do you want to know if you are loved? When you go to another home and they feed you the best, this prooves their love to you. Same with HKB'H, we purchase and cook the best food for Shabbat. The taste of food escalades on Shabbat. What you cook for Shabbat will come out much more delicious than cooking on a regular weekday. Crying is forbidden on Shabbat. We must be very happy on Shabbat, nice clothing, good food, divrei Torah, etc. If a person respects Shabbat, HaShem gives them a good Parnassah (income). Rabbi Shimon Bar Yoachai, zs'l, says that if Am Israel keeps Shabbat, the guela would come.

What is Shabbat? The 6 weekdays are called 6 working days, 'in your sweat, you will eat'. What is the Avoda, the working? The mixture of good and bad - most peels are bitter but the inside fruit is delicious. This is the secret of our lives. We all have pain - children, parnassah, spouse, home, etc. This is the peel and we need to remove the Klipa (peel). Everyday, a new mazal is born. One whom is rich today can be poor tomorrow - in one day, everything can be changed. Never be secure that yesterday will be tomorrow - everything can change. Someone thinks he is religious, wears the 'right' clothing, has a beard, puts on Tefilin - don't be secure that tomorrow this will stay if you don't work on it. We think we have skin of a young person but the skin wrinkles up and we become old. It changes... "מחדש בטובו בכל יום מעשה בראשית". Not one couple is secure that the couple will stay forever. It needs to be worked on daily.

Last week we spoke about the Ketoret and viruses. On the drive home, we heard on the radio that a new virus was discovered and very dangereous. Its name is 'unidentified bacteria' and it attacks silently and is attacking in the whole world, the media is not speaking too much about it...

A person is attracted to an apartment or a home and moves in - what attracts him to choose this home? The Kedusha. The mazal changes when a person moves - the light changes. It can change good or bad. A couple came to me and recently were having marital problems and they told me they recently moved. The woman told me she has a big urge to eat fish and never liked fish before. If a person breaks a wall in their home, the mazal can also change. The Kabbalah says walls are very spiritual (there are reincarnations in the wall and their rest is interrupted...).

Dybuk is very dangerous but I want to explain something. Under this table, (at the shiur) there is a Ruach (neshama), and if the table is moved, the neshama can hurt you. There are doors that creaks loudly, know that a neshama is there for the tikun of bothering neighbors with their noisy door. Murderers never have rest in the neshama and they are reincarnated in moving waters, never having rest. They are also reincarnated in leaves and when the wind blows, it hurts their neshama and this is very painful for them and its their punishment.

Sefer Galya Raza is a book of gilgulim and secrets. In the year 5766 (last year), there was a strike/rest (shvita) for all Jewish gilgulim. What we see now are the last tikunim from all previous generations. Very soon, new neshamot will be revealed - they are neshamot of Shabbat. When Adam HaRishon, zs'l, sinned, he only harmed the Guf (body of many neshamot) but he did not the head. The neshamot of the head of Adam HaRishon are called Ziiraa Hilhaha (Zohar Elyon) and were not harmed by the sin. These neshamot never sinned and will soon be revealed and they can be identified, how? Their minds are so clear and healthy and their Avodat HaShem is so complete, we will have fear from them because of their tremendeous light. One major sign to identify them is that they don't work, their work is pleasure more than work. I'll explain it - what is work that is pleasure? A singer gives 2-3 songs, takes a big payment and sees it as pleasure. Including me that I give Drasha and it gives me much pleasure, there is no inyan from receiving money. These are the neshamot from Ziiraa Hilhaha, the head of Adam HaRishon, zs'l, that never sinned. These neshamot are preparing us for Olam Haba, they come with the big LIGHT - the secret of Shabbat. No sadness and worries, only music and happiness. There are Malachim who only sing. We know that when Moshiach will appear, there will be music all the time from Shamayim, that's why it says in Shir HaShirim עת הזמיר הגיע. HKB'H loves music, Eretz Israel is called Shir. The Torah was written in song, as it says in "דברים ל"א-י"ט :"ועתה כיתבו לכם את השירה הזאת.

Olam Haba is happiness, lights, colors and soon we will see it, Amen.

FIRST TIME EVER - Exclusive Interview

FINALLY, FIRST TIME EVER....Filmed Monday, 22 Adar, 5767 (March 12, 2007)
Exclusive interview with HaRav HaMekubal Shimon Dahan on VIDEO (The Rav who foresaw the Tsunami)
To view the video, click here

TRANSLATION:
Question: Rabbenu, how did you get the knickname "The Rav who foresaw the Tsunami"?
Answer: For almost 20 years after Shabbat Mincha, I've been giving a shiur. Probably, thru the Limud (learning), it came in to my mind thru the Kedusha of Shabbat. I said what I said, and that's how it became popular.

Question: Rabbenu, can you tell us about yourself?
Answer: I was born in Algier and learned in Talmud Torah. Our neighbors were the Abuchazera dynasty. My interest in Kabbalah began thru them. In Israel , I learned in Yeshivat Bet El by Rav Nissim Perez Shilta and then continued on with Rav Nachmani, zs'l.

Question: Can you tell us about Rav Nachmani, zs'l?
Answer: He was a Torah giant. He was able to say a whole sefer by heart. I saw many miracles that he performed. He taught me Ahavat Israel, that first each Jew is a Jew.

Question: What is the connection of our generation learning the inner Torah to the Redemption? Answer: Yedi'at HaShem, knowing HKB'H. We are at the end of days and it's important to learn the Kabbalah to know HKB'H.

Question: There are many kinds of Jewish religion streams; how does a person know which one is right for them?
Answer: The right one is to do the Will of HaShem. A person should know that if a certain stream of religion strengthens him in Emunah, this is the Will of HaShem. The Yiraat Shamayim (fear of heaven) should grow daily, never standing idle and to daily grow to do the Will of HaShem. To be motivated to learn and want to be closer to HKB'H and have fear of Shamayim.

Question: Some people have a very hard time with the 'black clothing' of the Jewish nation. Can the Rav give some advise?
Answer: 28 years ago, when I began giving Shiurim, I saw that the Jews are thirsty to know HaShem, even if they were with long hair, earrings, etc. I let them be comfortable the way they wanted, coming in jeans to the Yeshiva with long hair and earrings. A Rav doesn't make a person do Teshuva, he just shows them the right way. They would beg me to allow them to cut the long hair but I would not permit yet. Till appx 1-2 years later, when they really were ready, I permitted them to cut off the long hair and remove the earrings.
Truth is, HaShem wants the person's heart, not clothing. I prefer that people will wear whatever they want to, and serve HaShem in secret. Just like there is Ester Panim (Hidden face of HaShem), they should also hide their serving to HaShem.

Question: Can you explain how HaShem judges the person's heart?
Answer: Our generation is reincarnated from all previous generations. A giant Tzadik Tana could be a street cleaner, and this is his tikun. In his lifetime as a Tzadik Tana, he never worked a day in his previous life and his tikun is 'with your sweat, you will eat'. We cannot understand it but this is the generation of the tikunim.

Question: Do we need to know which gilgul (reincarnation) we come from?
Answer: Only a Mekubal needs to know to reach higher kavanot (spiritual concentration) during Tefilla and learning. Regular everyday people do not need to know and cannot know their reincarnation. Reb Nachman, zs'l, said that in the end of days, we need to be simple people.

Question: Why are there so many single and divorced Jews in our generation?
Answer: The Gemara says: 'Since HaShem's house is destroyed, Am Israel should feel HaShem's pain'. Am Israel needs to feel the need to build a home for HKB'H - this is a Chupa (marriage ceremony). Then, there will not be one single or divorced person in Am Israel.

Question: Can you tell us about the Israel Leadership?
Answer: We are almost entering Nisan. This leadership is existing longer than I thought. They are no leadership, but Israelis voted for them. This leadership are not even qualified to lead the smallest town in the world. We are waiting for the leadership of Moshiach Tzidkenu - Melech Israel. This is our want, need, and request.

Question: What is going on with Ariel Sharon, what spiritual/physical condition is he in?
Answer: The leadership of Israel are far from Mitzvot, not one of the leaders did Teshuva. They are very proud and do not 'think' HaShem can be the LEADER. They think they can control the world. It doesn't matter if it's Sharon (if he's even alive) or another new fool, who doesn't know left from right. This is the will of HaShem.

Question: What does the Rav think about Iran and its threats?
Answer: If it wasn't Iran, it would be Egypt. If not Egypt, it would be Libya. In every generation, they want to wipe out the nation of the Jews. With this tremendous fear, the fear will burst out to do Teshuva.

Question: What about the virus that recently got exposed?
Answer: I spoke about the virus 30 minutes before it reached the public ear thru the media*. The fears will be cancelled when Moshiach comes. The fear comes from lack of fear from HKB'H. If you fear HaShem, there is no fear of atomic bombs or flus. For instance, a shepherd - why does a shepherd take a dog to help him to take care of the sheeps? The dog gives the sheep fear, and the fear causes the sheep to stay close.
*"...Today, there is danger of deadly bacteria flu plagues, it is worse than the atomic bomb. It can kill minimum 30, 40 million people - it is very quickly transferred from person to person. Sometimes virus plagues are hidden and people die without explanations in less than a minute. Scientists are more afraid of flu plagues than atomic bombs. Saying the Ktoret Samim prevents all virus plagues".

Question: Why is it that only fear wakes up the Jews for Avodat HaShem?
Answer: This is not true. The fear is only for those who do not believe HKB'H. If you return to HaShem with love, HaShem will bring you with love. Esther HaMalka and Mordechai HaTzaddik, a'h, were not afraid and never bowed down to wicked Haman. The rest of the Jews were scared of the decree because they did not fear HKB'H.

Question: Tell us about the digging of Har HaBayit?
Answer: They themselves don't know what they are digging for - it is HaShem's plan. The digging will cause the fall of the fake religions. And for the weak Jews, it will strengthen the Emunah. We know the Torah is Emet and need no proof to know it more. It is because of this political Israel leadership, and their eternal search for an imaginary peace with the nations of the world.

Question: Is it true that there are treasures of the Bet HaMidash in Rome, Italy?
Answer: Yes. They are placed in the Roman Pope's dungeons. A Roman Ceasar wrote in a bood that they took the treasures of the Bet HaMidash, and the proof for it is the picture embedded in Rome's gates of the Romans carrying the Menorah (there were many Menorot in the Bet HaMikdash). In Tripoli, Libya, there was a family friend who was friendly with the Pope and once, when they played Chess, he won him. The Pope told him he can ask him for anything. The friend said "I want to see the treasures of the Bet HaMidash". The Pope agreed and he went down to the dungeons to view the treasures of the Bet HaMidash, he saw what he saw but a tremendeous light blinded him, till today.

Question: Can we understand from this that the Klipa is guarding the treasures of the Bet HaMidash till Am Israel merits to have it back?
Answer: The Gemara asks why the goats are always in the lead, even ahead of sheep?. The Klipa are always in the lead. Just as the outer (klipa) peel protects the inner fruit. The Mekubalim have the ability to remove the Klipot. It says in Masechet Sandhedrin, they once captured the Satan and chained him up. It is not our job to remove the klipot, HKB'H will remove the klipot.

Question: We are in between wars, please give us some information about the upcoming war?.
Answer: The last war (Lebanon War II) is a direct message from HKB'H. Since the Six Day war, we lost all the wars. HaShem is showing us very clearly that we do not need weapons, soldiers, jets, bombs to win the war, as it happened in the Six Day War - one small nation against 7 big nations and we won, with very little.
This is what the pasuk "ה' ילחם לכם ואתם תחרשון" HaShem will fight for you, you keep silent" means - the leadership of Israel should NOT interfere in the upcoming war. If we want to win, we cannot interfere - HaShem Will Fight For You . The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that if Israel does not interfere in this war, we will win. In the war during the time of Devorah HaNevia, a'h, against Sisra, the Kochavim (stars) fought the war and we won.
Sisra's army was stationed at the valley, close to Nachal Kishon and Barak's army stood on top of Har Tavor. Without HaShem's help, Am Israel would have no chance against Sisra's army but HaShem confused Sisra's army. They imagined hearing clangs of chariots and horses approaching. Truth is Barak's army had no chariots. Sisra's army panicked and fled and Barak's army had no need to fight. They gave chase and killed the enemy soldiers. HaShem performed more miracles. Night was beginning to fall and stars appeared in the sky. HaShem moved the stars directly over Sisra's army and it shone on their iron coat of arms. They became unbearable hot and jumped into Nachal Kishon to cool off. Another miracle occurred. Kishon was a very small stream of water but in one moment, it swelled and became a raging river. The soldiers drowned, together with their horses and chariots.

Question: Is the Israel leadership towards its end?
Answer: Very close to this final day. Am Israel will need to choose either a leadership of human or the ultimate leadership of HKB'H. Look at the education, parnassah, zivug, marriage, children - what leadership do you choose? We will choose HKB'H to lead us. And it will be Shalom Al Israel...

Question: Is Moshiach spiritual or physical?
Answer: The Lubavitch Rebbe, zsk'l, was the Nasi. Each Rav over Talmidim can be in Chezkat Moshiach. Let's not make errors - the Rambam, zs'l, says it very explicit - Moshiach is born to parens - it's a live person that will reach extremely high spiritual levels, as did Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, did.

Question: Can you tell us about the Jews living in America? Why should they come to Eretz Israel? Can you give them Chizuk (inspiration).
Answer: The Rambam speaks about it. Moshiach cannot come till most Jews of the world are in Eretz Israel. Moshiach is delayed for this reason.
American Jews, this is up to you. Jewish Americans are in great danger of intermarriage. B'h, there are many returning to Judaism; keep strengthening, always be in touch with Jews of Israel, be sensitive to them, as if you are living here. Reb Nachman, zs'l, says that the spirituality of Eretz Israel can be reached anywhere in the world. Feel the spirituality of Eretz Israel.

You have much that is preventing you from coming to Eretz Israel. It's not wonder that at this time, you are still stuck there. Know this, the faster you will quicken your move to Eretz Israel, who knows how many will join us in Eretz Israel?! Whomever feels that Moshiach Tzidkenu is here and very close to being revealed, pack up your bags and get on the first plane, if possible. Purchase a one-way flight ticket ONLY and come here, never to return there.
Come to Eretz Israel, we need you as the last LIGHT before Moshiach's revealing. Who knows if you are the last button missing on the clothing of Moshiach? Therefore, you must hurry and speed it up and come to Eretz Israel. We need your blend for his crowning. We will be zoche together to greet Moshiach Tzidkenu, speedily.

Question: In America there are so many Yeshivot, Chassidut, shuls, why are the American Jews stuck there and not coming here, including all Jews of the world?
Answer: There was a strict Halacha in the time of R. Yehuda, zs'l, not to live in Eretz Israel, till Moshiach will be revealed. This is a machloket (division) that is over. Today, Judaism in Eretz Israel is almost equal to Judaism in USA. Also the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l, pushed all the religious Jews to move to Eretz Israel as well as Reb Nachman, zs'l. They both encouraged the Jews to move to Eretz Israel and receive its spiritual LIGHT.

Question: Rabbenu, who are the Netunei Karta that meet our enemies?
Answer: In Aramaic, Netunei Karta means 'the guards of the wall'. They are originally from Hungary. I believe that their thinking will break and we will be united into one Degel (flag) - Degel of HKB'H. The government of Israel also meets with the enemies, although they do it in secret. Netunei Karta do this to attract attention. They love the Jews but want attention - it doesn't mean they are not good. If you go to their homes, they will invite you in, open their homes and hearts.

The Rav is blessing all Jews in the Merit of our Forefathers, Tanaiim, Tzaddikim, Rabbanim, from beginning till the end, should be Molitz Yosher Tov on us and we will merit to accept the Light of HKB'H and very soon to greet Moshiach Tzidkenu, Amen.

Purim was a big happiness, b'h. In Olam Haba, Purim will continue to exist - it is complete happiness. The next holiday is Pesach - they both fall out of the 14th of the Hebrew month. Pesach is called Chag HaGeula.

Counting people is dangerous and prohibited and causes the person Ayin Hara - it is an explicit Halacha. If you need to count people, count Aleph, Bet, ect. or A, B, C, etc. Therefore, HaShem told Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, to count Bnei Israel thru each one donating Machatzit HaShekel (half a shekel). When David HaMelech, zs'l, counted Am Israel directly, everyday Jews died. He asked Shamayim why Jews are dying and was told it is because he is counting Am Israel directly. For the tikun, David HaMelech tiken to say 100 brachot a day. Counting money more than once also causes ayin hara on the money. We pray daily that HaShem should save us from Ayin Hara. Rabbi Yochanan, zs'l, says that 99% of the Jews die from Ayin Hara. One of the reasons people don't want to say their age is because of Ayin Hara. HKB'H gave only the Jewish nation the Aleph Bet Gimel Daled, etc. The rest of the nations only received numbers. Never will you find in the Tanach a number - a number is written with letters - Echad...

How does a baby who's in his mother's stomache gain weight to 6-7 lbs. in 9 months? Because he is hidden - אין הברכה שרויה אלא בדבר הסמוי מן העין - The blessing rests on things that are not revealed to the eye.

Giving Tzdaka (charity) removes Ayin Hara - תשובה תפילה וצדקה מעבירין את רוע הגזירה. Give Tzdaka daily and for safe driving, put a charity box in your car and put Tzdaka before driving - tremendeous segula for safe driving.

What is Ktoret HaSamim? Incense Spices The 11 samim (perfumes) of Ketoret was placed on the Mizbe'ach and it caused for a very good smell of smoke - this smoke and delicious smell gave the Malachim much pleasure. When praying, make sure there is no bad odor in the area. Everytime we eat and drink, we say the end blessing (Brachot Nehenin), only on good odors there is no end blessing. The higher a person is in spirituality, the more sensitive he is to smells. Moshiach Tzidkenu will smell the delicious smell thru our Mitzvot. The bad odor from the sins will also be smelled and Moshiach will give us the tikun to turn the bad odor to delicious.

Praying is a conversation with HKB'H and has the same power as giving Ktoret HaSamim. The Malach takes the conversation and brings it to HKB'H. HaShem takes the conversation and places in His Head as a Ktoret.

50 years ago there was a decree that a plague will hit Am Israel and was quickly approaching Eretz Israel. When the Mekubalim of Yerushalayim were notified of this decree, they went to the 4 corners of the holy city and said Ktoret HaSamim. Miracuously, the flu plague stopped right at the borders of Eretz Israel and reversed, never entering Eretz Israel. Saying the Ktoret HaSamim at night is very dangerous.

The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that saying the Ktoret HaSamim during the day is a sgula against ayin hara, death, witchcraft, virus plagues, and it helps to sell a home, rent apartment, shalom bayit, etc.

Why is it dangerous to say it at night? The samim is a weapon for the Angel of Death. To be healthy, say the blessing of Asher Yatzar after using the bathroom. All pain and illnesses a person has is from not saying the blessing. A woman had cancer and the Doctors gave her very few weeks to live. Having nothing to lose, she investigated her sickness (every bone) and wrote 2 books about healthy thinking and eating. If a person thinks good, it is good. If a person imagines he is flowing on the water, he feels the water - it's as he is sending his neshama to the sea. Do you think a person thinks for nothing? It is the neshama. The neshama helps to cleanse the body and by saying the blessing of ASHER YATZAR, cleanses the body and prevents blockage of blood streams.

During the Bet HaMikdash, there were no doctors, hospitals or health insurance. A person got ill, he would lift his eyes to HaShem... and would heal.

Today, there is danger of deadly bacteria flu plagues, it is worse than the atomic bomb. It can kill minimum 30, 40 million people - it is very quickly transferred from person to person. Sometimes virus plagues are hidden and people die without explanations in less than a minute. Scientists are more afraid of flu plagues than atomic bombs. Saying the Ktoret Samim prevents all virus plagues.

When praying, the physical body is cancelled out. Thru the praying, HaShem is revealed to the praying person. There are people who see and other people hear the Divine Spirit. The Gemara says that in a destructed area, praying is forbidden becuz of the harming mazinkin (harmers). One time, Chacham Shimon, zs'l, entered a destructed area and prayed. He heard a pigeon crying and Eliyahu HaNavi zachur latov appeared to him and told him that he placed his life in great danger. The mazikin have permission to enter destructed areas. Eliyahu HaNavi told Chacham Shimon that the Sh'china (Divine Spirit) protected him thru his Mitzvot.

How many times does a person get lost on the roads? On the Hillula of the Rashash HaKadosh, zs'l, it was snowing during our drive to his holy kever. We went in circles searching for the Holy Kever and wanted to return back. Less than 5 minutes later, we found the holy Kever - is this a coincidence? NO - it's Divine Providence. How many people fall asleep during a drive, a bus, train and wake up right before their stop? Is it a coincidence? NO - it's Divine Providence. A person going to do a Mitzvah, he receives Divine Providence protection. Everything we do could turn into a Mitzvah, even going to sleep. Saying Kriat Shema before going to sleep and knowing that sleeping is to have more energy for Avodat HaShem turns into a Mitzvah. Thinking is a tremendeous gift and when you share your thinking with HKB'H, you enter Him inside your mind and HKB'H will give you tremendeous LIGHT.

What happens with secular Jews that didn't grow up with Torah and Mitzvot? A kibbutznik knows to wake up, milk the cow, work the farm, eat dinner and go to sleep. What advise can we give this kibbutznik? Think about HKB'H ושכנתי בתוכם!!! Allow entrance for HKB'H in your mind. It doesn't cost money, take energy, wastes time, etc. HaShem wants you to choose to let HaShem enter your mind. Entering HaShem in your mind, gives serenity and happiness. When a person is happy, people love him. All this is for entering HKB'H in your mind - when eating, sleeping, drinking, dressing, speaking, etc. A person who feels shame from HKB'H, (examples: staying modestly dressed in the house, eating with manners, saying a blessing with concentration, etc.) know that HaShem is very close to you.

When Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, went to Shamayim for 40 days and nights, it was not to receive the 2 Luchot. It was for learning the Torah from HKB'H and to transfer the holy Torah to Am Israel. The 40 days, the Zohar HaKadosh says is the secret of the End of Days. Moshe Rabenu delayed 6 hours coming down from heaven. The Erev Rav convinced the Jews to build the Golden Calf. The Satan took advantage of the situation and showed Am Israel that Moshe Rabenu passed away. Who are the Erev Rav? They have 1 percent of Judaism. They believed that Moshe Rabenu was god and once they got the idea that Moshe Rabenu passed away, they wanted a new god. They took jewelry of gold to build the god. It's very dangerous to take a woman's gold jewelry and sell it - it causes so much harm. Aaron HaKohen, zs'l, took the chunk of gold and threw it in the fire.

Yeyunos and Yombros were Balaam's sons and were Pharaoh's greatest sorcerers in Egypt. They left Egypt with the Jews and were the Erev Rav (mixed multitude).

In the Midbar (desert), Yeyunos and Yombros went to the 70 elders and said "Moshe Rabbenu (z'sl) told us that he would return after 40 days. Forty days have already passed and it is past the sixth hour. Let us rise up and make ourselves a god who will go before us and show us the way."

The elders refused and they killed all 70 elders.

Miriam's son Chur stood up and said "How could you have the audacity to rebel against God after He did so many deeds of kindness for you?"

When they saw that Chur would not permit them to do what they wanted, they killed him as well.

They went to Aaron HaKohen, zs'l, with 40,000 members of the Erev Rav carrying banners in their hands like an army. They said to him, "If you do not do what we ask, we will kill you just as we killed those who are lying before you."

Aaron HaKohen was willing to give his life and not do as they asked. But he also saw that they were emphatic and stubborn in their evil plan. He realized that there was no way to change their minds. He knew that they will do what they wanted to do anyway. He thought that to burn the gold would take a few days and by then, Moshe Rabenu would show up...

How does it connect to the End of Days? The Zohar HaKadosh says that the Erev Rav will be erased in the 6,000 year. If a person doesn't have Jewish family record, he must be converted into Orthodox Judaism. There are many people that speak Hebrew, it does not mean they are Jewish. There are people who speak Hebrew but don't even have Brit Milah! I don't understand how people are so busy with life schedule and not screaming MOSHIACH, GEULA? This government is kishkush (fools). HaShem is showing us all the hints and people are sleeping. What does an Arab country, Iran, need an atomic bomb? Are the Jews threatening them that they are building an atomic bomb as a protection? NO - since the Lebanon War II, the nations of the world got much courage to fight the Jews of Eretz Israel. The power, strength, and courage of the Hizballa (zevel) multiplied 10 times since winning Lebanon War II. Why are people not fighting against this government? Everyone is sleeping. Someone asked me on Shabbat what can we do? Fast, Tehillim, prayers - with your prayers for children, parnassah, shiduch, happiness - pray for the safety of Am Israel.

This year *** 5767 Purim *** was very special - it was cloudless and so blue - the first time in years, it was ZACH (clean). For years on Purim, it would rain or be very cloudy. This year, Mekubalim did many tikunim and sigufim to prevent piguim (terrorist attacks) during Purim. When the sky was so clear on Purim, one can clearly see the Divine Spirit. It was the most special Purim ever - we ate and danced so much during Seudat Purim and there was so much happiness. The dinim were sweetened on Purim, 5767.

May it be HaShem's will that we will merit to greet Moshiach and come together to the Bet HaMikdash, Amen ve Amen.

*** PURIM WITH RAV DAHAN ***

בס"ד
Purim with Rav Dahan download/listen HERE

What is a name of a person? HaShem never changes His name and all the root name of HaShem are ONE. This is the secret of Megilat Esther. A person's name gives him the LIGHT. Therefore, you see in the Torah that each Tzaddik has his/her unique name. There is only one Moshe (Rabenu), Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov (avinu), Sara, Rikva, Rochel, Leah (imenu), Esther (HaMalka), Devorah (HaNevia), zs'l.

Achashverosh - he is head of the pyramid. Who was he? Before the sin, his name was Achashverosh. Which sin? In the Torah, he is revealed before the sin but in the Megilla, he is revealed after the sin. What is Achashverosh's name in the Torah? He is the Nachash (snake). Adam HaRishon, zs'l, wore light אור before the sin. After the sin, he wore skin עור. If you remove from Achashverosh the Aleph א)חשורוש)- you have the Chet Shin of the snake נ-חש.

Vashti - She was the light before the sin. After the sin, the aleph was removed from her and she became the existance ישות of this Olam.

Mordechai (HaTzadik), zs'l - Secret - the male helps the female to grow. When the female reaches the male's level, this is the top level and this is the goal of the male. They are equal - this is the secret of Vashti - שויון - Shiviti HaShem Lenegdi Tamid. Mordechai is equal to his female. Same as Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, had 2 females - Rochel and Leah Imenu, a'h, Mordechai HaTzaddik had 2 females. Mordechai in straight Gematria is 274 רעד. Rochel Imenu in Gematria is 238 and Leah Imenu in Gematria is 36 - total 274 = Mordechai.

Who was Leah Imenu? She was the secret of Vashti. The letters of Vashti ושתי scrambled is mosquito יתוש. What is a mosquito? A proud person. The mosquito was created before the person. When HaShem created the world, He created Teshuva for man. How did HaShem create the heavens and earth? By looking at it. HaShem looked at the letters, and the world was ready in 6 days. Everything that HaShem created did HaShem's Will, except for 2. The Adama (earth). What happened? HaShem said to the earth "bring forth fruits" and instead, the earth created trees and fruits separately and did not do HaShem's Will. The earth got punished for this. This is what happened with Vashti as well. Achashverosh ordered her to come undressed and she refused.

I was awake half the nite, couldn't fall asleep. Why does HaShem permit the nations of the world to harm, kill, destroy, wipe, and murder His chosen nation, Am Israel? What do we do so bad that always the nations want to destroy the Jews? It took 2 hours, b'h, to receive the answer. HaShem doesn't like us being materialistic and self-serving. When we eat, drink, dress, and sleep like animals. The Megilla and the Gemara speak about this - HaShem wanted to destroy Am Israel because the Jews partied with Achashverosh. People eat to make themselves satisfied, dress to look good, sleep to have energy to serve their ego. The prosecuter comes to HKB'H and says 'this is Your chosen nation?, they serve only themselves, not You'.

In every generation, there is a decree to wipe out the Jewish nation. In the First and Second Holy Temple, 30 million Jews were erased. Less than 60 years ago, 6 million Jews were wiped away. Who is erased? Those who push away the Holy Divine Spirit and serve themselves. They don't do Avodat HaShem leshem shamayim. They cheat in business, they lie to their family, they want only the best food and clothing, they do secret sins, etc. You want proof? When Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, came to his father, Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l, he dressed in the clothing of Adam HaRishon. Yitzchak Avinu blessed Yaakov Avinu 'יעבדוך עמים, וישתחו לך לאמים:הוה גביר לאחיך, וישתחוו לך בני אמך; ארריך ארור, ומברכיך ברוך' Let peoples serve thee, and nations bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be every one that blesseth thee'.

When is the last time in the past 3-4,000 years, did the nations of the world serve us? We are serving the nations of the world. This blessings can be seen that the Ishmaelim and Esavs have it - they have the oils and all the nations of the world serve them for their oil and meanwhile, damage us. Why doesn't Yaakov Avinu demand the blessings he received from his father come to fruitation for Am Israel?

It is a huge mistake to think like this. The authentic truth is 'You shall have no other gods before Me.' This is Mordechai HaTzaddik and Esther HaMalka - they did not bow down to wicked Haman - no matter the threats hanging over their heads. They did not bow down to the nations of the world. A Jew should not bow down to any nation and any person. This is what it means - 'בימים ההם בזמן הזה in those days, and in our time'. Mordechai is the secret of the holy smell - Mor Dror. Our spirituality will never be sold. HaShem is very patient and still did not keep this promise. He is waiting for Am Israel to capure the LIGHT, not to submit to the nations and then the blessing of Yizchak Avinu will come to fruitation. We are very very close to it, the air is thick with this energy of LIGHT, very very soon. Am Israel will capture and then we will have the bracha of Yitzchak Avinu come alive.

Esther HaMalka, a'h, asks the Melech (king) many times if she pleases the King - which King? HKB'H - THE KING. Hiding is the secret that HKB'H loves and this is why HKB'H chose Esther - seter. HaShem loves the secret of hiding and and not the proud show-off kind. Why doesn't HaShem reveal? All the people of this generation cannot appreciate the revelations - the beauty of HKB'H. Moshiach Tzidkenu will reveal HKB'H greatness when HaShem gives him the word. Mordechai HaTzaddik told Esther HaMalka not to reveal her nation and her birthright. In the future, Esther HaMalka, a'h will have to be revealed.

In Esther HaMalka are 2 females - Rochel and Leah Imenu. It says in many Sfarim that at times, she is revealed as Rochel Imenu and other times, she is revealed as Leah Imenu. In the future, she will be combined as one person and will not switch again. This is the secret of BAYOM HAHU ביום ההוא (that day) that it will be all (day) Light and no more darkness.

This Purim 5767 is very special. It says in the Gemara that if a person wants his prayers to be accepted, he should look to the center of the sky. If he sees no clouds, a clear sky, the pipes to HKB'H are clear and he should know that his prayer went directly to HKB'H and every bakasha (want) will be accepted. If there are clouds, even small ones, his prayers were not accepted. The clouds block the prayers and it is a Chasima (blockage). This purim, the sky is clear. Just yesterday, the sky was full of clouds and this whole past week, there were clouds. Today, Purim 5767, there is not one cloud in the sky. HKB'H cleaned up all the chasimot on this very very special Purim for Am Israel.

Purim is like Kipurim פורים - כיפורים. Why are they so alike? On Yom HaKippur, the Kohen Gadol would choose a Pur (goral). 2 identical sheep and 2 pieces of papers that one says One to HaShem and the other, to hell. One day, after dunking in the Mikveh with soon-to-be-Breslevors, they were still with the long hair and earings and Purim came upon us. I got connected to them to give them chizuk and to know HKB'H, and I took 2 identical cups and I placed each cup in a certain way. They asked me what I was doing, they thought it was a magic show. I showed them that the cups are identical in color and height. I showed them that the cups are the secret of the neshamot (souls). HaShem sees all the Jews the same - HaShem is not racist. All the Jews have equal neshamot. One person asked 'why do some fall and become wicked and others, raise and become Tzaddikim?'. I told him that HaShem asks the Neshamot "Who wants to be a Tzaddik, who wants to be wicked?". All raise their arms to be Tzaddikim but the world needs both for the tikun. HKB'H places 2 lines of Neshamot and HaShem makes a Goral (lottery) who will be Tzadik and who will be wicked. So really, there is no choice. The Midrash says that in Shamayim there is no choice at all. But when the neshamot enter this Olam, they forget. People forget and when they come into this Olam, they think there is no parents, no religion, etc. This is the choice. The Baal Shem Tov, zs'l, says that HKB'H loves all the Jews. Do you want to remember the truth? Keep Shabbat, put on Tefillin, do Mitzvot and this will connect your Neshama to remember...

All the wicked also do the Will of HKB'H - and this is the secret of Megilat Esther.

***PARASHAT 'TETZAVE' 15 Adar/March 3, '07

The Rav said that none of the prophets were really able to help Am Israel do Teshuva. Fear usually cause Am Israel to wake up to realize HKB'H. As we witnessed during the last war, Lebanon War II - the scuds, missiles, and rockets caused many of the Jews to do Teshuva. But why is everyone sleeping now? Why are going on with our lives and making 'plans' while a psychopath in Iran is barking to erase the Jewish nation. When Hitler, imach shemo, another psychopath, threatened the Jews, most didn't believe him and went on in their daily life. He erased 6 million Jews in a considerably very short time. We need to wake up now and beg our Father to stop this maniac right away. Who do you think puts the words and the power in his hand? HASHEM! It is NOT a sleeping matter! Someone asked what does the Rav suggest we do, and he said the same as was done in Shushan - fast for 3 days, beg HaShem to cancel the decree, do Teshuva...

The leaders of today's worlds are fools, no less than Achashverosh was. What kind of king - world leader of 127 states - orders his wife (Vashti) to appear infront of millions undressed? What was he thinking? The present situation is no better - world leaders are bigger fools and Am Israel are controlled by the world's fools, including the Erev Rav.

We have no real leaders today - not spiritual or physical. When a person has a question or needs spiritual guidance, very few have a Rav/Rebbe to ask for advise. This Rav says this and that Rav says that and who do we follow? It's a very confusing time and this is part of HaShem's tests... It's a time of hiding - HaShem is hiding - Ester Panim.

People don't realize but from each family - only one, hardly 2 - will survive to greet Moshaich Tzidkenu. Less than 20% will survive, unless we do Teshuva right away. There is no time. The Rav said that this is not a 'prediction' or 'his prophecy' - this is written in every Sefer (book).

The shiur was much longer but cannot remember much more... Slicha U Mechila...

There is a difference between wisdom and holy wisdom. The oil used for the Menorah comes from the olives that are placed in higher grounds. It says that Moshiach will stand on Har HaZeitim (Mount Olives). In the near future, Am Israel will judge the nations of the world. When we will stand on Mount Olives, and the earth will crack and a drop of the holy olive oil will drop on Am Israel to give them the holy wisdom how to judge the nations of the world. Am Israel is a Keli (vessel) and if they would know this, they would not be confused by the materialistic world. Moshiach is called Moshiach because he is nimshach with the olive oil, on the head.

Zohar means Ohr (LIGHT). The LIGHT is a spiritual light. To explain it in a way that can be understood better - the arabs were blessed with the oil and they have the materialistic light to give the world. The materialstic oil will soon diminish and then, the spiritual LIGHT will come. The arabs know this and are afraid when their light will end and Am Israel will be the spiritual light. The Kabbalah says that the LIGHT is the wisdom. It gives the holiness and the power. The Torah is Ohr (light). The Torah will turn into the Keli to give Am Israel the light.

Few things that harm the person and make him forgetful:
1. Food that were touched by mice;
2. Wearing clothing inside out;
3. Wiping hands on clothing;
4. Overeating olives

When Dovid HaMelech, zs'l, was nimchach with the oil by Shmuel HaNavi, zs'l, Shaul HaMelech, zs'l, got very jealous. One day, Dovid HaMelech hid in the cave and Shaul HaMelech entered the cave but did not see Dovid HaMelech. Dovid HaMelech cut off the corner of Shaul HaMelech's clothing. Later, Dovid HaMelech prooved to Shaul HaMelech that he means him no harm and he showed him that he could have killed him but did not. If a person doesn't take care of clothing, HaShem takes away the person's clothing. This is what happened to Dovid HaMelech when he aged. He got very cold and no clothing can warm him up - measurement for measurement.

What is clothing? HKB'H created the world in 6 days and on the 7th, He rested. Adam HaRishon, zs'l, sinned on Friday and he got frightened and hid inside the tree. When HKB'H asked him where he is, Adam HaRishon said he is hiding and is afraid and suddenly felt naked. It says Hamin HaEtz - what is Hamin - it is spelled haman. Adam HaRishon ate from the haman. The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that in that minute, HKB'H tore up His clothing. HaShem broke His will and dressed Adam HaRishon with Kutnot Or. When HaShem tore up His clothing, it was a siman that the Bet HaMidash I and II would be destroyed.

The kutnot or was later found by Nimrod and he controlled the world with the power of this clothings. Esav fought with Nimrod and won him and took the kutnot or. This clothing served Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l. Esav always wore the clothing of Adam HaRishon when he brought food for his father. Yitzchak Avinu was blind and the smell of the Kutnot Or had the smell of Gan Eden. That's why Yaakov Avinu wore the Kutnot Or to get the Brachot (blessing).

This parsha speaks about clothing for the Kohen Gadol. This clothing forgave Am Israel thru going with this clothing to the Holy of Holiness. What kind of clothings did the Kohen Gadol wear? Kutonet (overcoat), pants, belt, Mitznefet (a hat), and 4 other clothings. These clothing was the secret of the YKVK. There are white letters and black letters. HKB'H writes with white fire on top of black fire. Wearing black color clothings is the lowest level - as it says in Shir HaShirim - אל תראוני שאני שחרחרת don't look at me black, the emet is שחורה אני ונאוה I am light... The Ben Ish Chai, zs'l, says don't wear black clothings on Shabbat - it is forbidden. Those that wear black on Shabbat will be dressed black in Olam Haba, r'l. So why do so many wear black? The Shulchan Aruch says that black is modesty and it is worn in memory of the destruction of the Bet HaMikdash. Am Israel will be dressed in white - LIGHT in Olam Haba.

The bad Malachim are black and the good malachim are white (or). What is Tchelet (sky blue)?. Techelet is the Sh'china. The sea water looks blue but really, its color is non-color. The Sh'china lights on the water and therefore, it looks Tchelet. The Tchelet is Din and Wisdom. There are various shades of white...

A newborn comes into this Olam naked and leaves undressed. A newborn is always born with dark color hair - but the emet is white. When does the white come out, when he ages. If a person is a Tzaddik, he is dressed in white clothing. When a person sees white letters, it means he is a very high spiritual person.

This generation wears clothing and eats food from dead things - from gas NEFT. From gas, polyester is created. The threads are not from plants or animals. It is not quality clothing. The Birur (clarification) of the NEFT is about to end and then we will get the LIGHT. When you will hear on the radio that the world oil has ended - know that the reward for Ishmael has ended and the light of Am Israel will begin.

4 things were found 2 days ago:
1. The Notzri (*esus)
2, 3. His parents
4. His son

The nations of the world who are mostly xtians, about a billion people, believe in the Notzri. They believe that he never married, never had children and was born out of nowhere. Now they found the above, and it is mindboggling cuz their whole religion is face and a facade. It is a big damage for them and all is orchestrated from HKB'H - Ishtabach Shemo La'ad.

At the time of Mordechia HaTzadik and Esther HaMalka, a'h, most Jews lived in Iran. It is equivalent to this generation where most Jews live in America. Where there are the majority of Am Israel, the Sh'china rests on them.

Achashverosh ruled over 127 states. Always the biggest power controls Am Israel. This is one of the reason, the biggest power don't release Am Israel. When Moshiach comes, Purim will not be cancelled. Purim is called Yom HaKippurim. The Kohen Gadol on Yom HaKippurim took 2 sheeps (se'irim) and he would make a Goral with 2 papers. One paper said TO HASHEM and the other, TO HELL.

The se'ir would be given Korban to HaShem and the other thrown down to Hell. This is the secret of Purim. Achashverosh made a party to eat and drink. One day, as Achashverosh is sitting on the head of the table, Haman gets the permission to erase and wipe out the Jews. He gave the command to kill Am Israel. Why this terrible decree? The Jews bowed down to Avoda Zara at the party of Achashverosh.

The secret is Achashverosh and Haman used to look into astrology and used witchcraft. They were able to forecast. They saw that 70 years were almost over and Achashverosh decided to wear the clothing of the Kohen Gadol and parties with the Keliim of the Bet HaMikdash and announces that he is the king. This is the SM decreeing to kill all the Jews and the Jews are partying with him... That moment it was decreed in Shamayim that the Jews will c'v be wiped out.

Soon HKB'H will soon reveal His clothing - how? They are digging under the holy Temple and the discoveries will be mindboggling. The clothing of the Kohen HaGadol will be discovered - the nations of the world will shut up...

This is the secret of the clothing - Nahafoch Hu. The customs are worn to confuse the SM (Satan). The shofar is also blown to confuse the SM. The Megila is the Hidden Secrets in Megillat Esther and revealing them. HaShem tells us to find Him by giving us many remazim (clues).

What is Purim? The same as was done on Yom HaKippur - the goral of the 2 seiriim and also on Purim, was a goral (pur).

Esther HaMalka, a'h - Esther is Seter - hidden. She was beautiful like Sara Imenu, a'h.

Haman Hagagi in Gematria value is Achmajeed. They even look alike as well as Hitler, imach shemam. Like Haman who wanted to destroy the Jews right away, Achmajeed is even worse. The Rav says he would tear his clothing and scream in the streets to wake up. This is not a joke. Achmajeed's threat is very real and his aim are the Jews. He already announced to the whole world that he would destroy Am Israel. This is the same thing that happened in the Holocaust. Hitler, imach shemo, no one listened to the warnings... But he wiped 6 million Jews in a very short time. He even got to Morocco,Greece, and Spain and he tried getting into Israel. This is a real threat - in every generation. Am Israel doesn't listen to the threats - they continue watching TV and dancing... Rav Basri Shlita started Sunday to make holy noises at the Kotel with Shofarot to cancel the decree.

There are many Jews who did not do Teshuva yet. What will happen with our brothers and sisters? HKB'H wants to redeem Am Israel. Who knows HKB'H? Who breaks his will for HKB'H? It's enough one Tzaddik to save Am Israel, like Avraham Avinu, zs'l, Rashbi, zs'l, Mordechai HaTzaddik, zs'l to save Am Israel.

Taanit Esther will be Thursday. The Taanit (fast) is to remember that there are real threats in the world - wake up. Purim is Motzei Shabbat - you must listen to each and each word. Hearing every word of the Megilla is more important than hearing the Parshat HaShavua. If a person misses one word - he did not keep the Mitzvah, including women - must hear each word of the holy Megilat Esther. Touching the Megilla on Shabbat is forbidden. Do not bring children to the reading of the Megila if they are unbehaved. Take a babysitter and don't cause others to sin...

THe Geula of Am Israel will be in BIG SIMCHA. HAPPY PURIM, AM ISRAEL...

Shabbat Mincha Parshat Teruma 6 Adar/Feb. 24

Purim is a time of extreme happiness, especially this year Purim. Something very big is going to happen and we should all be Be'Simcha (happy), b'h.

There are 3 types of Meshichim:
1. A Moshiach that physically passed away;
2. A Moshiach whom is physically alive but doesn't know he is yet the Moshiach; and
3. A spiritual Moshiach.

The half a million plus Lubavitch Jews that are chanting about the Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l, being the Moshiach are not far from the truth. The Lubavitch Rebbe was Moshiach ben Yosef. MBY's job is to fight the war spiritually and then, we will physically see many changes in this Olam.

What is the secret song that we will sing? It is the song of the Neshama (soul). Reading the letters of the song causes this song to become alive. When the letters with unite with the Neshama, then we will know the new song for Moshiach's arrival.

Yehoshua bin Nun, zs'l, was the secret of the Levana (moon) and Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, was the secret of the Chama (sun). Originally the sun and moon were the same size, until the moon asked God, "Sovereign of the Universe, can two kings share a single crown?" God replied by telling the moon to go and make itself smaller. "Sovereign of the Universe," the moon cried "because I presented a proper claim, must I make myself smaller?"And God, realizing the justice of her plea, compensated the moon, by promising that she would rule by night, and that Israel would calculate the calendar by her. God - also promised that in the redemption, the moon would be restored to the same size as the sun. The Levana (moon) is the spiritual female (Am Israel) and the Sun is the spiritual male.

A few years ago there was a young 4 year old secular boy that his father would bring him to the Bet HaKnesset and after the Friday Evening prayers, would come to take him home. One Friday when the father came to take him home, the young boy told the Rav a recurring dream, "In your shul, I see the Moshiach and Moshiach called to me and told me he is Moshiach. He sat in the women's section". That was the last time the young child was seen in the synagogue and never returned to the shul.

In every generation, Moshiach comes in female spirituality - this is the secret. Physically, Moshiach is a man but his neshama is the secret female of HKB'H. Moshiach ben David is a male and his neshama is a female.

Another person approached the Rav with a dream he had: "In the dream, I saw Or HaChaim HaKadosh, zs'l, and he revealed to me that they are relatives. He told him that Moshiach is amongst us". The Rav asked the dreamer if he was standing on sand and if he saw big waves and the guy was amazed that the Rav knew this. The Rav explained that many have told him similar dreams and that's how he knew this.

Since the destruction of the 2nd Holy Temple, prophecy was given to fools and children. What is a higher level, a Chacham or a Prophet? A Chacham is a much higher level than a prophet because he has prophecy and Chochma (knowledge). How can a Chacham have prophecy? The Rav gave an example. Let's say you are driving 100 mph and across from you is an approaching car at the same speed. At the exact time the 2 cars are passing each other, it is 200 mph. But if the 2 cars are driving side-by-side 100 mph, from far it would seem that the cars are standing still next to each other.

When we are watching 2 cars driving side by side in perfect harmony, it seems from a distance that they are standing still. If you ever observed a wheel turning very fast, it seems to really be standing still. This is what is happening right now in this Olam - everything is happening very fast but to us, it seems like standing still... This is the secret of the Geula...

Each person can achieve the secrets of prophecy. How? If we follow the Will of HaShem and not the opposite of His Will. If we keep side by side with HKB'H and not miss 'a beat', we can achieve prophecy. This is the secret of prophecy - being in harmony with HaShem, side by side together.

Besides Moshiach, there are Talmidei Chachamim in our generation that are above the level of a prophet. A Talmid Chacham has prophecy as well as the power to decree. When a Talmid Chacham decrees, HKB'H performs.

It says that there will never be like Moshe Rabenu but it does not say that there will never be above him. Moshiach is on a higher level than Moshe Rabenu.

How will we know when Moshiach will be spiritually revealed? When the non-Jews will be very frightened of the Jews, for no apparent reason.

60 years ago the atomic bomb was like an antique radio. At the time, it seemed to be the best, strongest, fastest, etc. But just as radios improved, so did the atomic bombs. They are much greater and extremely powerful. Even those that build atomic bombs do not really know or understand its power. It is so powerful, that when it will happen, its light will push away the darkness - there will be no darkness or night - it will seem like daylight.

HaShem is crying and His tears will cause a big noise in the waters. There will not be quietness in the world for the world. Right now, the Mazikim (the harmers, the Pharoah) have permission to harm the Jews and their wish is to harm the Jews with the maximum power - Lehader et hanezakim (so to speak). The gigantic waves that will be from HaShem's tear is the Yom HaDin (Day of Judgment). There will not be one person who will not be in danger!!! The only way to turn the Din (judgment) into Rachamim (mercy) is to immediately do Teshuva - these are the last moments. The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says in the Matok MiDvash that the Gates of Teshuva are shut for the wicked people!

The Rav says all this will happen but we don't know which will come first... This is all part of the Geula process.

Many wonder why our generation will merit to live for the time of Redemption. This is because our generation is the generation of humbleness. Each person says 'I'm just a simple Jew' 'I'm just a small Jew', etc. That is why we are worthy to be the final generation. We feel very small in comparison to our Tzaddikim and this is a great mida. But we must do Teshuva to be worthy to be redeemed.

What is Teshuva? Tashuv HaShem Return to HaShem.

Moshiach ben Yosef's job is to enter us into Gog uMagog and Moshiach ben David's job is to bridge us onto the spiritual world - Olam Haba.

PARASHAT 'TERUMA' About Purim & Rav Perez Shlita

This file contains the story of Rav Perez Shlita who was priest and his story converting from xtianity life. This shiur was given 6 years ago Shabbat TERUMA.

DOWNLOAD/LISTEN HERE

שעל כל רגע ורגע שאדם חוסם פיו זוכה לאור הגנוז Every second that a person shuts his mouth, he merits to receive the hidden light.

The world was created from this Light. What is this light? A person can see and feel a person who lives in a different continent. Examples: If a husband and wife argue, keep the mouth shut. A person thinks he knows things, keep the mouth shut. A person knows a juicy detail about another, keep the mouth shut...

Parents who feed, educate, and clothes a child over 6 years old, it is considered Tzadaka. Tzadaka (charity) begins at home...

A man decided to sell his car and a guy approached him while praying, and made him an offer but the guy was praying and could not answer him. He upped his offer from 10,000 to 15,000 but still no reply. He upped it to 20,000 but still no response. He already reached 30,000 and the owner just finished praying and said "I'll sell you the car for 10,000". Why did he go down to the original offer? Becuz in his mind, he accepted the first offer but could not reply while in prayer...

This is Teruma - the first thought that comes to your mind to donate - give that amount and do not change the amount. The original thought is gave to you thru the Sh'china and each person has to give Teruma according to his financial abilities.

Mishloach Manot - Manot is Matanot La Evyonim - gifts to the poor. What is Machatzit HaSheckel? It is forbidden to count Jews - it causes for Ayin Hara and it can damage the person. If you need to count people, count the jackets or hats but not the people. It's also not good to count money over and over again. This is the secret of the Machatzit - First letter M, last letter T - MET (dead). Second letter Chet and second last letter is Yud - Chai (alive) - middle letter Tzaddik - choose to be Tzaddik Chai.

The month of Adar is good for Shomrei Shabbat to go to court (if it's needed). There are 12 months in a year and each month correspondse to a Mazal (sign) and it rotates. 7 stars rotates in every month and Haman, as well as Pharoah, Hitler imach shemam, knew this secret. Even Saddam knew this but all the bad always ends at Purim.

On Chanuka and Purim, the non-Jews wanted to destroy and erase the Jews. Purim they wanted to wipe the Jews physically and Chanukah, they wanted to wipe out the Jews spiritually. Which is worst? Antinyachus - the wiping of spirituality. This is what is happening in our generation - the impurity is much worse than Achashverosh's decree to kill the Jews. The impurity is glued to us - discos, drugs, prostitution, football games, etc. There are thousands of Jews that that are spiritually killed. A father came to me crying that his daughter is using drugs and hitting her parents - where did this impurity come from? Music from non-Jews, bars, etc. What can protect you from all these impurities? Shabbat, Tefilin, prayers, modesty, etc. Stop living in an imaginary world that sports is ok or a 7 year old getting a haircut not for a ben Torah...

What is Taanit Esther? Mordechai HaTzaddik, zs'l, told Esther HaMalka, a'h, to save Am Israel and she said that all Am Israel should fast, including herself, even though it was Erev Pesach, for 3 days. Everyone should fast, except pregnant women. When did Haman HaRasha make the Goral (Pur) to destroy Am Israel? On Adar. Haman saw that Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, passed away 7 Adar but did not know he was also born 7 Adar.

There are 4 Mitzvot on Purim:
1. Mishloach Manot (at least 2 dishes must be given);
2. Megilat Esther; once at nite and once during the day;
3. Seuda (meal) during Purim (not the night before) with meat and wine;
4. Matanot La Evyonim (Tzedaka/charity).

Hearing the Megilla is more powerful than learning Torah. One custom that is forbidden that a male dresses as a female or a female dressing as a man. No talking is allowed during the reading of the Megilla - complete silence. You want to have the Hidden Light? Shut your mouth שעל כל רגע ורגע שאדם חוסם פיו זוכה לאור הגנוז Every second that a person shuts his mouth, he merits to receive the hidden light.

Each person, including women, over 20 years old must give Machatzit HaShekel (some say also children over 13 years old). Those who don't wear customes, dressing in Shabbat clothing on this special day is a very important thing. It is a holy day but cooking and driving, etc. is allowed on very very holy day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Rav Perez Shlita
I am from Mexico and in Mexico there are over 3,000 religions. I got caught up in this world and was a missionary. I didn't know the Jews but they didn't interest me either. I learned baseball in school and thru this sport, it gave me energy to pull more people into my religion. Mexico wants to be like America and I went to Professors and Lawyers -the high academic people but saw they are empty - the external clothing can fool many but in my mind, how can a well-dressed lawyer defend a killer?

I learned the bible and I realized that each person in the end, meets the Creator and gets judged. Mexico is a country of lust and lawless. Siances in Mexico is in the highest level - in Mexico, the dead kill the living. People go to the dead all the time and the dead control. When people behave like animals, the people become animals. Watch this video to see newborns that are conceived from impurities (watch at 7:19 seconds). Many homes in Mexico are under the influence of the dead. It's scary but very real. One time we were in a home looking at photos of a grandfather and the children recognized him right way, although they never physically saw him. They know him from the dead. The dead are embedded in the walls...

Before converting to Judaism, we were asked, during my priesthood, if we are serious to find out how to reveal the truth. We all eagerly agreed. But then I found 10 bibles with Spanish interpertations but each book, had a different translation. I started wondering which one is the authentic translation? I decided to learn Hebrew to learn the original bible. Know that many Goyim read Psalms - it is a tremendous and powerful 'book' also for the non-Jews. Also before every court, a man is sworn on the bible. The Jewish community in Mexico is a very closed and tight knit community. Many priests also felt many questions about the authenticity of the bible. I had a spiritual downfall and was searching for the truth. I used to go alone to the forest and cry to Aba to teach me the truth. The first time I saw a Jew, I didn't know he was Jewish. He didn't have a Kipa or a sign "I'm Jewish" but there was some kind of a spiritual light around him. At first, I thought this guy probably does a lot of witchcraft. But my curiousity grew and I approached him and he told me he was Jewish.

It was awesome for me to find a Jew - it was a spiritual high. I felt like Am Israel when they exited Egypt and said Dayenu - this is more than enough. Every Jew was like a king in Mexico - the Jewish community in Mexico is very respectful and extremely united. I cried daily and nightly that the Jews are so blessed. One Friday, I stood by a synagogue hearing the prayers and cried and cried. I took out my psalms and read it and saw the pasuk where Dovid HaMelech, zs'l, asks HaShem to visit His home. I tried to enter the shul but felt very very dirty. I was not a bad Goy and never stole. Why did I feel so dirty? It is like a mechanic that doesn't know how dirty he is till he steps into a wedding in his mechanical clothing. I walked in the shul and everyone stared at me. Even the children had a spiritual light around them - goyim children never have this kind of a spiritual light.

I went to NY and learned that I have much learning to do. Each person of the non-Jewish people have a different interpertation of the truth - there are over 10,000 religions. In Germany, while killing 6 million Jews, the Nazis (imach shemam) would go every Sunday to church. They learned that killing is forbidden but the priests taught them that Jews are not people and to kill them it's good...

Why do all the people of the world love and believe the bible? Because 80% of the Holy Torah (bible) contains criticism against the Jews. Therefore, the goyim know it's true because the Jews would never write 80% criticism against themselves.

PARASHAT 'TERUMA' 2 Adar/Feb. 20, '07

BS'D

LISTEN\DOWNLOAD THE MP3 FILE OF PARASHAT 'TERUMA' HERE

SUBJECTS:the temple & his tools in the "PaRDeS's" sight, the secret of "hand washing",
the hands, the sleeping, the angels, the gates of teshuva is going to be closed for the wicked people.

Parshat Mishpatim is about Ben Adam La Chavero - relationship and laws between friends. Parshat Teruma is about Ben Adam LaMakom - a person's relationship with HKB'H. Till Parshat Shemini, it talks about the Sh'china resting in the Mishkan. HKB'H asks for Teruma (donation) from each person. HaShem wants His home to be built and 4 things to be placed in it - a table, Menorah, Mizbe'ach, and Aron.

If a person studies HaShem's Home, he can understand the creation. Why does HaShem need a home? The world belongs to HKB'H. How is it possible that nothing us will build a Home for HKB'H? It says I will rest in them - HaShem says to us Be Holy so He can rest in each person's home. HKB'H 'lusts' to live with us. The home of HaShem is Yerushalayim of the lower world and the upper world. The Sh'china is the spritual female of HaShem.

Why does an adult person feel the need to have his own home? What do we buy first, the dishes or the home? Definitely the home and then the dishes. The need is for the father to support his family and prior to marriage, he makes a contract with his wife - Ketuba. Many men have no clue what the Ketuba says and just signs, in a hurry to get married. The Rav is obligated to explain the Ketuba. It says the man must support his wife - this is the home. We came to this Olam to get married and have children, Pru U R'vu. What is Pru U R'vu? The minimum is a son and daughter or 2 sons or 2 daughters.

Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, and Am Israel worked to build the Mishkan - they had all the necessary dishes but not the home, yet. He was not sure how to build HaShem's home. HKB'H told him to ask Betzalel, zs'l, who was a young child. HaShem gave him the wisdom how to build the Mishkan. This is amazing - Moshe Rabenu spoke with HKB'H and saw Him but did not know how to build the Mishkan. When HaShem told him to ask Betzalel, Moshe Rabenu was very humble and did as told, even if Betzalel was a young child. Betzalel means Betzel HaShem, in the shadow of HaShem. Moshe Rabenu listend to Betzalel how to build the home of HaShem - the Mishkan.

HaShem build the world opposite of human logic. First, HaShem build the heaven and then the earth. Logic is first build the foundation and then the home... The world was created for Adam HaRishon and Chava, a'h. Why did they need such a big home? To learn the ways of HaShem.

The Kruvim (cherubs) were Malachim. The Malachim are called Kruvim and have a 'face' of a baby. That is the reason why we say a baby has the face of an angel... The word Kruv when the letters are switched is Baruch (blessings).

The Kohanim dressed very modestly and were not allowed to raise their legs while walking so their legs were never shown. We learn that HaShem loves modesty.

The Baal Shem Tov, zs'l, the Father of Chasidut wanted to come to Eretz Israel to meet the Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh, zs'l. He never made it to Eretz Israel and during his trip, because of very high waves, he returned to Europe. It is said by many Chachamim that if the 2 great men have met, Moshiach would have come at that moment. Why would Moshiach be forced to appear if the 2 great men would have met? I thought about it a lot. In the Moshiach there is a female and male. The Baal Shem Tov was the female and Or HaChaim HaKadosh was the male. This is the secret of Netillat Yadaim. If one knows the secrets of the Netila, he could bring the Moshiach.

If a Kohen did not do Netila, he would die. Why is HaShem so strict with this Mitzvah? The palms is the only body part that is hairless. The palms is the brain of the person. Proof: What is more powerful? Verbalizing to a person I love you. Or, giving an affectionate stroke on the face. An affectionate stroke from the palm of the hand is much more powerful. The palm has the power to remove pain. This is the reason Rabbanim bless us with the palms of their hands. A person cannot learn Torah without first doing Netila. Praying, eating, most everything, first Netilat Yadaim. A person cannot enter a shul without first washing hands.

When HaShem created the world, He first dunked it in water to purify the land and then it became dry land. HaShem loves water. Elokim - El HaYam, God of water. What's the first thing a person does when he wakes up, even if your head scratches? NETILAT YADAIM. Today, it is not possible to purify the palms of the feet. SEGULA: If a person cannot fall asleep or sleeps very poorly, make sure the palms of the feet are NOT facing the Maarav (west).

The Menorah is the face of the person. The 7 is keneged the 7 features of our face; the 2 ears, 2 eyes, 2 breathing tubes in the nose, and the mouth. When we do Netila, we raise our arms to the face and not over the face. It's forbidden to raise the arms above the face. The right should be higher than the left arm. Netila removes the impurities. The (brain) Keter is lit after netilat yadayim. The netilat yadayim after using the bathroom, purifies the body and if it's said with Kavana, the person will never get ill. The Chafetz Chaim, zs'l, says that the biggest Segula for health is saying the bracha after netilat yadaim after usage of the bathroom.

Why do we keep our mouth closed when we go to sleep? The person is subconsciously closing his body for his neshama can go to Shamayim. This is the reason we get cold while sleeping. The neshama warms the physical body but when it goes to the Shamayim, there is no inner warmth. As soon as we awake, the neshama returns and warms the body, by lighting up the 7 features of the face. The first thing when we awake we hear, then we see, smell, and last, we speak... Then a person can stand on his feet...

Character of a person is to be private. A person does not wish to be 'read' and others to know what is going on in his private mind. This is the secret of the Luchot being in the Aron HaBrit.

The Cherubs on the Aron HaKodesh were facing each other. When Midat HaDin is ruling, the cherubs faced their backs to one another. Each person has 2 Malachim on top of him and when we are 'good', they give us happiness and pleasures. The opposite is also true. Why did HaShem create the Malachim? The Malach is the shaliach (messenger). To receive a message from HKB'H, it is passed thru the vessel which is the Malachim. Each Malach has a purpose - there is a Malach of money, gold, fire, etc. Each Malach has a name and authentic Mekubalim know how to use the Malachim's name to change a person's mazal. But it has to be a certain timing because if the timing is wrong, nothing can change the mazal. I'm warning all of you not to say names of Malachim because it can cause much harm. It can cause poverty, accidents, etc., r'l. The only malachim's name allowed to be said is ARGaMaN - initials of Uriel, Ariel, Oriel, Rafael, Gavriel, Michael and Nuriel. Since the generation of the Mabul, we cannot use names of Malachim.

HaShem's world is powered from Malachim. HaShem created Malachim for our benefit...

The Gates of Teshuva will be shut down for the wicked people, they will not be able to do Teshuva. The Bet HaMikdash will come down very soon and the LIGHT will shine on us and never will shut down. May we all be zoche to have this great Light - Amen Ken Yehi Ratzon.

RAV SHIMON DAHAN SHLITA - THE END OF "SHOVAVIM" DAYS

BS'D
LISTEN/DOWNLOAD THE MP3 FILE SUMMARY OF SHOVAVIM DAYS.
THE RAV REVEAL THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE DONE BY HA'SHEM VERY VERY SOON DOWNLOAD/LISTEN HERE

Moshiach will be revealed in truth and finally, HKB'H will be revealed. Do you want to know the last moments, the truth? This is the Avoda. In the time of the Shovavim, HKB'H opens my eyes to see. I saw the truth. The S'M opened his gates and said "Shimon, take". I took and I understood that every drop that was spilled, I was able to retrieve it.

In the Shovavim tikun we did on the border of Syria, in Chermon, HKB'H revealed Himself. We did the tikun in Tachlit, we didn't ever collect money and had no interest except purely for Leshem Shamayim.

HKB'H loves us very much and His hiding causes Him much pain and He cries that He cannot be revealed to His children. Why is our Father not revealing Himself? There is a difficult war between the children and our Heavenly Father - the children want to be the Father... This Purim, HaShem will b'h remove the masks and reveal to us that we are His children and we will say, You are our Father. We will sing and dance lichvod HKB'H.

Authentic Tzaddikim fall and if they don't fall, they are not authentic Tzaddikim. The Tzaddikim fall where the Sh'china falls. In every generation, one Klipa is revealed and Am Israel suffers to remove the Klipa.

When will we reach the last Klipa? The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that when the Erev Rav (Unholy Mixture) are the leaders, this is the last Klipa that we must endure till HKB'H returns the truth of His Torah. The 3rd Bet Hamikdash is ready in Shamayim and during the Gulf War it began coming down. I'll give you a sign: The leaders are the Erev Rav and they are stupid and fools. They have no knowledge of anything from HKB'H. There are almost no leaders that are from the Kedusha. After this leadership which is no leadership at all, HKB'H will reveal Himself. HaShem Will Fight the last war and win and then, rule over us. HKB'H will remove the last Klipa, only HKB'H.

Only 20% of Am Israel will survive. Know this - HaShem is the Moshiach, HaShem is the King and He'll lead us. There will never be another leadership of the Klipa. The Klipot will be removed forever.

All those that did not do Teshuva, will not be able to do Teshuva. Only those that keep the Mitzvot, Emunah, and Torah will survive forever - very few people. There will not be atomic boms but there will be a complete darkness - Yemei Choshech for those who distanced themselves from HKB'H.

Those who side ONLY with HKB'H, will survive.

HaRav HaMekubal Shimon Dahan Shlita

Rav Shimon Dahan Shlita is asking for a huge favor that is extremely important to him.
In 1994, there was a huge gathering of over 250,000 Jews at the Western Wall/Kotel to pray for rain and annul the decree of war. During the prayer, it started raining.
Harav Levi Saadia Nachmani zs'l spoke at this gathering.
Rav Dahan Shlita says that CNN filmed it and he is desperately looking for this video and asks if we can help find it.
Thank you for you interest and help in this matter from Rav Dahan Shlita.

Hazak U Barcuh,Reb Yeranen Yaakov Shlita, for your translation of Rav Dahan's holy words.
Scroll down for the Shabbat Shiur

An Urgent Subject
One subject I must bring up now that's very, very urgent.
Ladies and gentlemen, you have to hear and listen to what happened a few days ago.

A few days ago, at the end of the week, there were 2 earthquakes in Israel, on after the other. In that week, suddenly, the Muslim world (true, this is not related to the Perasha, but it is a subject that is urgent to speak about) the Muslim people rioted on the Temple Mount. The entire world is boiling around one point: the Jews, through the government, want to build a bridge on condition that they'd be able to enter - when there's a time of trouble, our security forces need to enter the Temple Mount. They went to build a bridge.

Good, they just started to build this bridge, and then, suddenly they made riots, then no riots - we thought that they'd stop. They stopped building the bridge, but the archeological excavations didn't stop. The archeologists continued. What happened?

The Denial of the Moslems of the Existance of the Beit Hamikdash

...Until today, the Muslims tell us, "There is no proof that you ever had a Beit Hamikdash. You don't have [proof]." Just like many Jews don't believe, don't keep Shabbat, or anything - Jews who say, "I am a Jew" don't keep Torah or anything. Why? They say, "Antiochus" - that was in those days. The same thing with the Muslims. What do the Arab Muslims say? "What kind of Beit Hamikdash did you have? Who told you that you had a Beit Hamikdash? Who said so? You're imagining it." What do they say? "This Al-Aksa was here since the creation of the world. Mohammed didn't make it, nor did any calif (Omer) make it, but rather, it was here since the creation of the world, but the Beit Hamikdash never existed."

Now, what's happening? These archeologists are not religious - they have no connection to religion - but they love - they have a "Doodah" (joke in the head) to discover hidden secrets. What a "Doodah" to search there and dig, like these excavations, only to find something that was once here. And it's true - they are discovering things. And these finds are very important to the Jewish nation - not only are they important to the Jewish nation, but it's important to the entire world to know that there was once a Jewish nation here.

The Archeological Discoveries that are Standing Before Us

I don't need this, believers don't need this, but there are many people who have no faith whatsoever at all - suddenly, they'll see the Menorah as it is written thousands of years ago when there was a Menorah. They'll see the Shulhan (table), they'll see the Mizbe'ah (alter), they'll see things that were written in the same dimensions as were written in the Torah thousands of years ago. It is so written - they will not be able to deny it. This they already cannot deny, and this is what's going to happen. This is undeniable.

Behold, here is what's happening - that what the Holy Zohar writes - that the Creator of the world will prove to the entire world that He is our Father. How will He prove this? Through the past - the past that was.

The Root of the Dispute

Behold the whole topic that we are [arguing about] today - the most important topic is religion - it is not about land. It is a mistake that we are talking about here in this world as if the "Palestinians" [are the root of the dispute]. We think that they [the Palestinians] don't care if there will be a Beit Hamikdash or not. We think that all they want is land. This is not true! They [the Arabs] have lands all over the world. There are Arabs found all over the world - in Europe, in America, in Africa, in Australia - anywhere you say, Arabs are found. Are they lacking space? Saudi Arabia is 10x, [no] 100x bigger than Israel. Is the [dispute] about this (land)? No! They have a problem about religion. Their faith is protesting here: "What if we will come and prove to them that Judaism existed this whole time? And behold, another [archeological] find and another find and another find, and slowly, slowly, they will prove that Judaism existed [here]."

This is their fear. This is why they're rioting. They're not rioting over a bridge that you are building now - how would that bother [them]? In no way. Rather, over the [archological] finds there - they know this. Their leaders know this inside, and they know that there will come a day that the Beit Hamikdash will be built. How [or where] will it be built? In the place that we will build! Their fear is that the third Beit Hamikdash will be built exactly in that place, but the Creator of the world writes so.

"How do you see the situation?"

More than once or twice, I was asked, "How do you see the situation?"

Ladies and gentleman, this will happen much quicker than we think. Much, much quicker than we think.

MINCHA PARSHAT MISHPATIM 29 Shvat Feb. 17
Today, the Rav reminded for the second time (the first time was recorded) about the matter of digging at the Kotel and he said that there will be revelations and proof found about the Bet HaMikdash existance. This revelation will reveal the lies of the Muslims and Xtians in the world and this is their biggest fear. They are afraid that everyone will know that Am Israel are the chosen nation and the only chosen children of HKB'H and when it will become known, the Goyim (non-Jews) will have to show their fake religions. It's enough that when they dig, they will find proof such as a written document or utilities used in the Bet HaMikdash. Stupid those who think that all this digging is done because of the bridge. TO those who believe, we do not need any proof but for all so-called professors and/or intellects that betray HaShem and deny Him, this will be the winning war. All discoveries will be in a way of nature. What we are about to witness is HaShem revealing His Name and His Truth in this Olam (world).

The Rav spoke about about Shaarei Teshuva (Gates of Teshuva). Teshuva movement is decreasing and becuz of the soon to be revealed discoveries about Bet HaMikdash, those that will do Teshuva becuz of the effects of the discoveries of the truth, it has very little worth because once the truth will be publicized, it's no challenge to do Teshuva and therefore, do Teshuva NOW while we HaShem is still in the stage of Seter (hidden) - these are the last moments...

We must show HKB'H that His Home is not Hefker (ownerless), not with weapons - only with Emunah and trust in HaShem. This is the place of the Jews not the Goyim and Arabs - they have no business being in the Home of HKB'H and have nothing to search for there. We must be firm in this decision and not be 'gentle' with them. We must be clear and make a loud statement that Har HaBayit and Yerushalayim belongs to the Jews, ONLY. If we don't protest, at least pray to the Creator of the World that we identify with Him and we are not agreeing and will never agree to any kind of sovereignty except HKB'H.

HaShem is already checking our pulses to see how much we care about His Home, if we will operate, He will operate. But we must do the minumum and that is to pray to HaShem in His pain about His Home that foxes are freely wandering in His Home.

The double agents (archelogists) that are digging there places cameras in every direction in case they find something and therefore, the findings cannot be hidden. They are placing themselves in their own huge pitfall. The Rav doesn't doubt that ash from the Red Cow will be found... The problem is that we need a pure person that will sprinkle it on us because we are all impure... The Rav claims that this is not so difficult and there is a solution. Based on the Arizal HaKadosh, he used Malachim (angels). It is known that one cannot use Malachim without being pure by being sprinkled with ashes from the Red Cow and therefore, the Arizal was very Holy and HaShem revealed to him how to use the ashes from the Red Cow. This is what will happen now, too. HaShem will choose one Tzaddik that is on a very spiritual level and will reveal to this Tzaddik how to sprinkle the ashes of the Red cow, just as it was with the Arizal. We can see a clue to this from Dama ben Netina, a non-Jew who had great respect for his parents and didn't wake up his father even when he was offered megamillions. As a reward, HaShem bestowed on him a gift of the Red Cow. Dama is Adam דמא=אדם and the word (Para) Aduma אדומה contains the word אדם. This is the secret of purity of Am Israel.

A non-Jew merited in receiving a great gift because of his respect to his father. He got rewarded in this Olam. How many times over it will not be a problem for HKB'H to reveal the secret of the Para Aduma (Red Cow) to a God-fearing Tzaddik to purify Am Israel and to be able to be purified and see the Shchina (Divine Spirit). Usage of Malachim is a small reward for those who do Avodat HaShem. How will we know whom this person is that HaShem revealed the secret to? It's simple. The Rav hinted that the same as the Arizal, the Malachim are next to the Kotel (I think the Rav meant the same Malachim that are secretly trapped in the Temple when it was destroyed. There was a certain process that Malachim needed to go up to Shamayim (heavens) from the Temple, but what happened was that they didn't make it before the destruction of the Temple, and they were just "stuck" down - in the place of Even HaShtiya (אבן השתייה) (where ther Arabs stuck their obnoxious mosque). All this fits in perfectly to the timing of our generation and to the upcoming weeks, of building of the Mishkan.

This month, ADAR, awaits us many pleasant surprises and constitutes the next stage of the Final Redemption.

Till today, Am Israel were slaves to kingships but in countries outside of Israel it is a choice exile of the individual. There is a very simple explanation to this - if the Jews wanted, they could come to live in Eretz Israel in a split second**. And it will happen... It's enough that Wall Street will crush and all the Jews will arrive. But there is no dictatorship that prevents any Jew to make an Aliya to Eretz Israel. There is a very severe thing and this is the secret of the last exile and many Tzaddikim fall into this trap... The pit that the Satan (Yetzer Hara) built, all by himself and the 2 Meshichim fell inside - Moshiach ben Yosef whom is the secret of the Ox and Moshiach ben David whom is the secret of the donkey. It is the darkest and lowest pit and the maximum depth of the Klipt and they fell inside it because there, fell the strength of the Divine Spirit and they fell with the Sh'china in the Galut. There is one more remaining Galut (exile) and that is the Galut of the families. Today, in every family there is a Galut. There is a division between religious and seculars. This is the last exile and right now, there are clarifications and nothing is lower than this or harder. Despite all the bitter hardships, learn how to compromise and get along. This is an exile of individual families - Jews!

When Moshiach will be revealed, he will divide these camps, how will we accept it? Some of our own blood family members will not merit the final Geula. Even now, converts are not being easily accepted and those that will squeeze in to be converted, will be called גר גרור towed convert. The second the truth will be revealed, doing Teshuva will be worthless. The smart person understands this and will choose to do Teshuva RIGHT NOW, without waiting for proof of HaShem's existance!!!

Please, this is the time to strengthen in Emunah. These are the last moments before the great revelations of HKB'H. We must be ready...

**NK's comment: Making an Aliya is very simple and easy. Take as little materialists that you urgently need, hop on the plane and leave everything to HKB'H to take care of... Staying put or hesitating in your fancy homes and jobs will do very little to merit you entrance into Olam Haba... Don't waste another precious minute - Moshiach is very very very very close and coming to Israel before his arrival will merit you in unimaginable ways.

I can write a whole article about it to convince YOU but bottom line is - if you are serious about wanting to live in the time of Moshiach, hop on the plane ONE WAY to Eretz Israel NOW!!!

Mincha, Parshas Yitro 22 Shevat 5767
In the final redemption it is dependent on our will, with our tshuva and our clinging to Hashem....

Moshiach comes in steps, we need to accustom ourselves to him. He is already here--there is no need for him to "arrive". The revelation is at the moment that a person identifies him as Moshiach. He is already "operating in the field" [performing actions in the world] and one only needs to contemplate what is happening to understand that his hand is at work. Wherever Moshiach goes if he sees something lacking or that something is not right he brings about a tikkun (rectification).

Everything comes in a natural way, and so it is with the resurrection of the dead. Tthe Creator of the World is constantly introducing another step and another step and we are already mamash in the midst of the geulah, whether we want it or not. For example, in the beginning someone will be revealed who can awaken the dead but he won't be able to walk....after this he will open his eyes but he won't be able to hear...and this is the way that Techiyas Hameisim will become part of life in this world, naturally, in a way that people can tolerate without losing their sanity. It will be that many will arise who are in essence different gilgulim from one person.

The month of Adar is at the gate and the Creator of the World is preparing many surprises for Am Yisroel, and we need to be prepared to be suited to receive this spiritual abundance from Him.

Parshat Beshalach, Haftara Shirat Devorah, Tu B'Shvat Feb. 3

The Rav said that during the time of Adam HaRishon, 70% of the neshamot sinned and the remaining 30%, did not. These 30% that did not sin, have been in a special hall in Shamayim and since the year 5760, have began reincarnating in this Olam for minimal tikunim. That's why we see that in comparison to previous generation, very few babies are being born.

The Rav said that the Erev Rav are bad but even worse are the Amaleks whom we read about in this week's parsha. The Amaleks are mixed in with the Jews. The Amalekim are the Jews and the Rav described their characteristics. These 'Jews' are non-believers and they make fun of God-fearing Jews and to feel ashamed that they believe in HaShem. They are the evil of all evils. The Rav told a story of wanting to start a Yeshiva and he spoke to the Mayor of the town and the mayor asked him what is the goal of the Yeshiva. The Rav replied that it will be build to teach Torah. The Mayor asked if the Rav wants people to return to Judaism and the Rav said yes. When the Mayor heard that the Rav does Avodat HaShem and helps Jews return to Judaism, he replied NO WAY and he'll NEVER allow the Rav to build a Yeshiva in this town. The Rav said that this is a clear sign of an AMALEK. It's not that they only deny HaShem, they deny others to teach Jews about HaShem. They call HaShem a Koach/Power and deny that the world was created by HKB'H. They know the end is very near and don't allow anything to be learned about Judaism.

The Rav said that the Gates of Teshuva are CLOSED. Those that prefer to watch TV or sit on a sofa reading a book, instead of learning Torah, this will stay with them till the end. Whatever spirituality was captured till recently, this is what a person will have. The Gates of Teshuva are shut down... The end is very near and those that are sleeping, will continue sleeping...

Again, I'll explain the holy words of the Rav as was said in Parshat Vayechi 16 Tevet/Jan. 6, 2007 . The Gates of Teshuva are not shut, but there is a great hardship to do Teshuva. The Ben Ish Chai, zs'l, in the Sefer Torah Lishma, says on Teshuva 'before the revelation of Moshiach, the Teshuva is not effective and it is compared to doing Teshuva in complete darkness. In complete darkness, the reward for doing Teshuva is much greater. This is what happens when the Geula begins, each one is caught on the level that he achieved. SHAAREI TESHUVA IS NOT SHUT!!! But, the return to Hashem loses from its value that closer we are approaching the LIGHT of the Geula. Every day it gets more difficult to do Teshuva, but it is possible'.

The Rav said that most people don't know this Halacha and are daily transgressing a thousand times and the transgression is like not keeping Shabbat, r'l. The Jews are NOT allowed to praise non-Jews!!! A Jew cannot say about not Jews that this actor is the best, or this woman is beautiful, or this football player is awesome. Every compliment to a non-Jew is a very severe transgression. He explained it in an example: Let's say you bring home to your parents a friend for the first time. The friend talks with the parents about another friend and how great he/she is while totally oblivious to the parent's child. This is exactly the same when Jews praise non-Jews. We, the Jews, are HaShem's children --- how can we praise a non-Jew? The Rav brought from the Gemara a story of Rabbi Akiva, zs'l, and Matronita. She was a beautiful, young, very wealthy non-Jewish woman and she came to 100 year old Rabbi Akiva and sat across him in an unmodest position. Rabbi Akiva spit, laughed, and cried. He spit because even though she was physically attractive, it means nothing. He laughed because he saw that she will convert to Judaism and he'll marry her. She was the Gilgul (reincarnation) of Leah Imenu, a'h. His previous wife was Rochel, a'h, daughter of Kalba Savua, and she was the gilgul of Rochel Imenu. (NK: If I remember correctly, he cried because her beauty would also eventually be buried in the ground).

The Rav said that people depend on weapons and army to protect them. This is very warped thinking. The Rav said that most people are asleep, even those that think they are awake. And what was, will be. In Egypt, only a fifth were redeemed. How much is a fifth? 20%. The Rav says that even less than 20% will survive the end, r'l.

What does it mean being asleep? The Rav said that it's not enough to be a 'Jew'. These people will survive to greet Moshiach Tzidkenu:
מי האיש החפץ חיים,אוהב ימים אוהב ימים לראותם...נצור לשונך מרע,ושפתך מדבד מרמה,סור מרע ועשה טוב
Who is the person that wants to live? Keep your tongue shut from speaking bad, your lips should not say lies, stay away from bad AND DO GOOD!!!

Parshat Bo 8 Shvat/Jan. 27

LeIluy Nishmat HaRav HaGaon HaMekubal Levi Saadia Nachmani ben Rina, ZS'L -
Please light a candle for his neshama. Nachmani Rina - Roshei Tevot NER (light)

The Gemara speaks of fools במושב לצים לא ישב לץ. This refers to a person that wastes precious time and cancels the Torah, as it says 'אם חכמת-חכמת לך ואם לצת לבדך תשא". A fool will carry his own weight on the outcome of wasting time. We find this in the time of the Romans when they built theaters and boxing stadiums, next to the Jew's residences and in this way, they would haul the Jews to their warped culture.

The present situation is the same. If a person kills a person, he will pay for it by doing prison time. But if a person kills another in a stadium, like boxing, with thousands of viewers, there is much encouragement for this wicked sport violence. It has become so warped, that the 'winner' gets paid megabucks and is honored. Is this logical? This is the culture of the Western. The same is about football, all sport games - people waste precious time for nothing. But those who know the truth, use the valuable time to learn Torah and do Mitzvot and their time is precious, filled with good deeds, and the Yetzer Hara cannot even bother with them, b'h.

The general rule is the Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) can enter only where he is permitted to enter and then he has the power to control the person - mostly with the materialistic. In the future, the Rambam, zs'l, says that also these materialistics will be purified to be used for Kedusha (holiness), as opposed to the Sitra Achra.

On the other hand, it says "אשרי האיש Blessed is the man" - this man is on the level of being young, a young adult. The answer is that the Yetzer Hara is much stronger in young people and the choice to fight the Yetzer Hara comes at a younger age. The older people have less Yetzer Hara because decisions are more level-headed, and that is why it says אשרי האיש אשר לא הלך בעצת רשעים.

The Gemara asks what is more preferable? Learning Torah from study, or from knowledge, or from speaking? The answer depends on the person. If the person can withstand the sharpness of the Torah, it's good. But if it's hard for a person, even if he studied it multiple times for over 2 years and cannot process it in his head, it's better he learns Halacha. Anything a person learns within the Torah realm is good - PaRDesS. There are people who can learn the Pshat, others Drash - each person according to his capabilities. That is why his Neshama (soul) is reincarnated. We are in the stage of the last tikunim, and the neshamot are correcting the parts that needs to be fixed. That's why a person who is not capable to comprehend the Gemara, but can grasp the Kabalah or vise versa; it's all according to the tikun that he came to do in this Olam (world).

The first redemption was with desire with arousal from above. The last redemption will be with the need of will and arousal from the lower world - from us. The Creator of the World is hiding His will and we must reveal it. The difference will be that this revealing will be eternal, without ever again being in hidden exile. We are right before very big things for Am Israel. It can happen any minute and we must be ready to receive the gigantic and awesome abundance. That's why it's very important to utilize the time for Torah study, Teshuva, good will, etc.

It is known that Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, is the secret of this Olam's Will. In gematria, Moshe is same as צנור (pipes). This Olam is led by the will which is the longing. In spirituality, the longing are the desires and in materialistic, the longing is the money. People have many desires, spiritual and materialistic. There are those that are answered and those that ask, but not answered. It all depends on the person's purity to influence the receiving of the plentiful. The desire to receive is a tool that builds to receive the spiritual plentiful - thru Torah, Mitzvot and good deeds the pipes of receiving is purified and therefore, the person becomes a tool to receive.

HaShem also has 'desires', as it says "עשה רצונך כרצונו כדי שיעשה רצונך כרצנו Make your will to His Will so that He will make your will as His Will". If a person does HaShem's Will, HKB'H does the person's will as if it is HaShem's Will. Which people does HaShem answer their desires? The ones who keep the Torah, Mitzvot and do good deeds...

A person can be very wealthy but if HaShem decides to strike this person with a sickness that has no medication, all the materialistic money loses its power. The money the person needs is spiritual money - so to speak. Spiritual money is much more powerful than materialist money and has much more value - the spiritual money can help a person in this Olam and in the spiritual Olam.

The Rav spoke about HaRav Nachmani, zs'kl. He was his Rav and his Hillula/Yartzeit was 7 Tevet. HaRav Levi Saadia Nachmani was known to be a Tzaddik who was able to perform many miracles. There was not one person who did not due respect to this tremendous Tzaddik. He did much work of Kiruv. The Rav gave some examples of the greatness of HaRav Nachmani:

One day, a father of a girl sticken with cancer in the liver came to the Rav. The doctors gave her maximum of 40 more days to live. The father begged the Rav for mercy and the Rav gave the girl the name 'Yocheved'. It was a gigantic miracle that after very few days, the doctors unanimously pronounced the girl as medical miracle when she received a newborn liver - it was like she was never ill. The Rav was asked what did he 'do' to heal the girls and the Rav answer 'Simple, I pulled a LIGHT to the girl with the name of HaShem to her liver , the name Yocheved, and she was able to be healed....'

Another incident with a young man that was handicapped in his legs came to the Rav. The Rav observed him in his wheelchair and commanded him "I told you to get up" and again, repeated it. The young man got up from his wheelchair and was able to stand on his own and began dancing and threw away the wheelchair. The Rav was asked what miracle was done and the Rav answered: "I pulled new legs from HaShem and gave it to the young man...."

Another amazing incident that happened with Rav Dahan Shlita - listen very very good. In the time when Rav Dahan knew Rav Nachmani, it was a time of the Intifada when there were many suicide bombers. One Motzei Shabbat (Sat. night), Rav Dahan, together with his talmidim that did Teshuva, decided that it's time to operate to cancel the terrible decree. They decided to write a leaflet and the headline read "לך כנוס את כל היהודים" (from Megilat Esther, a'h, when she commanded Mordechai HaTzaddik, zs'l, to gather all the Jews). With this leaflet they decided to go to Rav Nachman to give them further instructions. They arrived late in the evening and the Rav inquired what help they needed.... They explained to the Rav about the leaflet in order to cancel the degree on Am Israel... The Rav was silent and says to Rav Dahan Shlita: "You see the sefer (book) over there? Underneath it, there is a paper, bring it". Rav Dahan brings the paper under the Sefer and what was the headline written on the paper? Did you guess? "לך כנוס כל היהודים" - the same headline as Rav Dahan's leaflet. This was a gigantic miracle and there are witnesses who saw this. But there is more... Harav Nachmani, zs'l, decided that night to go to the Gerrer Rebbe Admor. When they arrived, it was decided that each person will pass by the Admor and represent the plans to quicken Moshiach's arrival.

They needed to hurry becuz the hour was very later and the Admor needed to sleep and if they delay, they would not be able to see the Admor. Rav Dahan Shlita said to Rav Nachmani, zs'l, "Let's hurry" (Rav Nachmani was a slow walker) and Rav Nachmani replied "I'm old" and gave him a serious look.

The following day, Rav Dahan was not able to walk and this went on for many weeks. He would walk very very slowly. In the beginning, Rav Dahan did not understand why his legs are so slow to walk. A few weeks passed and Rav Nachmani was wondering why Rav Dahan is not coming to him and asked about him. He was told that he's suffering from the legs. Rav Nachmani answered "What? Bring him to me to me, bring him". And this exactly what they did, they brought Rav Dahan to Rav Nachmani and Rav Nachmani gave Rav Dahan a סגולה remedy for his ill legs. The next day Rav Dahan was running like a deer and he immediately understood the reason why his legs became ill. It was because Rav Nachmani zs'l, was makpid (strict) on Rav Dahan's comment to walk faster...

After Rav Nachmani's passing away, his family says, and there are witnesses, that the Rav came every Friday nite from the 'ceiling' to do Erev Shabbat Kidush and then disappear. His son saw his 'dead' father coming from the ceiling and tells his father "Aba, we don't clearly see you". Rav Nachmani, zs'l, showed himself clearer and the son told him that he can be seen clearly now....

Rav Nachmani, zs'l, also appeared in the shul where he used to pray and the congregants seeing this, got very frightened. Rav Nachmani, zs'l, told them not to be afraid, that he came to bless them... This was AFTER Rav Nachmani passed away!!!! He used to act as if he was still alive, many witnesses saw him 'dressed' in the same physical body.

Another amazing story is a woman came to his grave and all of a sudden, she sees Rav Nachmani standing inside his grave, speaking with her... She asks the Rav why he is standing and Rav Nachmani answered from the grave "I'm standing to be ready any minute for resurrection - I'll be the first to be be resurrected...."

Rav Dahan Shlita asked Rav Nachmani, before the Rav passed away why Moshiach did not arrive yet. Rav Nachmani replied "I asked HKB'H if there are opposers to Moshiach and his arrival?" and he was answered "there are no opposers except for the Satan that says to HKB'H "I'm not against Moshiach's arrival but who needs Moshiach to arrive when each person wants his Rebbe to be Moshiach ???. What this means is that there are many who delay Moshiach tremendously. Instead of believing that your Rebbe is that Moshiach, Am Israel should ask from HKB'H directly to send ONLY HaShem's Moshiach. When this will be, then HaShem will send HIS Moshiach. Rav Nachmani, zs'l, main goal was to unite Am Israel. IF there is unity in Am Israel, Moshiach is NOT necessary, c'v. Unfortunately, there is no unity, therefore HASHEM's Moshiach main job is to unite Am Israel...

After Rav Nachmani passed away, he came to Rav Dahan in a dream and told him a sealed blocked message "Shimon, wait".

Please light a candle for the holy Neshama of the Tzaddik HaRav Levi Saadia Nachmani ben Rina - he has tremendous power in Shamayim to help each one from Am Israel.

It should be HaShem's will the the merits of the Tzaddik HaRav Levi Saadia Nachmani will protect Am Israel and we will ALL merit for a quick redemption, AMEN.

Parshat Bo 4 Shvat/Jan. 23

***** NEW ******Listen to Rav Dahan's Parshat Bo shiur, HERE

Pharoah is the representative of the Yetzer Hara of this Olam. HaShem gave the Yetzer Hara strength to control this Olam but HaShem is in control of the Yetzer Hara in this Olam and in Olam Haba the Yetzer Hara will not control.

The shoresh (root) of the Yetzer Hara is Malach (angel). The neshama is much stronger than the Malach. A person is born from substance and if a person rises above the substance thru the Neshama (soul), the person can break the Yetzer Hara. How does one do that? Thru keeping Mitzvot of HaShem and this causes the LIGHT of the neshama to get stronger. Chazal says that anyone who does a Mitzva, buys himself a defender and the oppposite, r'l.... Malach is from the word malacha - work - this is Avodat HaShem, work for HaShem. A Mitzvah is called LIBUSH (dressing) and this dressing protects you.

The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, speaks about children who came to this Olam with very high neshama and they would speak very spiritual things.

Ishmael and Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l, would argue who is greater. Ishmael said that he did the brit at 13 - when he realized what he was doing. Yitzchak Avinu said that he's ready to burn for HKB'H and he did that in Akedat Yitzchak. The greater the person is in spirituality, the more the Yetzer Hara increases. How to beat the Yetzer Hara? סור מרע ועשה טוב - stay away from bad and do good. Stay away not just from Lashon Hara, but also from all badness and do good. Stay away from all bad people and bad influences. KNOW THE ENEMY! The Yetzer Hara is darkness. This Olam is for tests and to purify - Everyday we gets tests, CHOOSE LIFE by choosing GOOD! Even Pharoah did Teshuva at the end in Yam Suf.

A person who denies HaShem, r'l, and doesn't inquire about HaShem - these people are the כסילים - morons.

Pharoah was petrified of the plague of the locust because it caused darkness. The next plague, the darkness, petrified him even more. HaShem made Pharoah look for Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, in the darkness (he was the only Egyptian able to move during this plague) to tell him to take Bnei Israel out of Egypt.

In the plague of Makat Bchorot, there were 5 people in 1 family who died. The woman would cheat on her husband, and the results were there were many first-borns in every family.

A person can never win anything, without HKB'H. We cannot win wars, battles, sicknesses, etc. without HKB'H. Who do we think stopped WWII, the Holocasut? The Americans??? WRONG! HKB'H. HaShem took the survivors from there to Eretz Israel. How does a person become free בן חורין? When he glues himself to the Creator of the World.

This is what happened in the Midbar. They were supposed to be in the Midbar for a few days but becuz they sinned, they were there for 40 years. During the 40 years, they were בן חורין and didn't need to work for food, had no sicknesses, didn't need to buy clothing, etc. They went in the path of HaShem and HaShem gave them the freedom חורין.

This is the Parsha that the Erev Rav stuck with Bnei Israel and were redeemed with Am Israel. Who are the Erev Rav? History of Erev Rav - they were Goyim with very minimum sparks of Judaism. We see this Erev Rav in our generation, those that deny HaShem and make fun of Judaism. The Rav says that a person who doesn't keep Yom Kipur, Pesach, Holidays - they have no god and don't inquire about Judaism, HaShem knows if they are the Erev Rav. But definitely they have minimum sparks of Judaism, just as the Erev Rav did.

The 4 sons - One wise, one wicked, one simple and one who does not know how to ask a question are embedded in every generation. The 4th is the worst... Those that don't inquire about Judaism - they are not interested in HaShem. The Jewish Neshama needs and wants to inquire about Judaism and HKB'H.

Be the follower of HaShem and not follower of the hypocrites. Do not follow fashion, hairstyles, low-waist skirts/pants, etc.

SCREAM for Moshiach's arrival, don't wait for him to call you... The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that Moshiach is in Heichal Ken HaTzipor The Bird's Nest. Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (the Zohar) came up to him, and tells him that Am Israel is suffering and Moshiach needs to save them. Moshiach told him that without the KETER crown, he will not be believed that he is the Moshiach. Rashbi asked where is the Keter? Moshiach told him by HKB'H. Rashbi elevated to HKB'H to find the Keter and found it. He gave the Keter to Moshiach and asked him to come to save Am Israel. Moshiach asked when did HKB'H wore this Keter? Rashbi answered that HKB'H wore this Keter on the day that Am Israel went thru the Yam Suf. Moshiach said this Keter is not good and explained that this Keter was from Midat HaDin - Judgment.

Moshiach wants the Keter of HKB'H that HaShem wore on the day He gave the holy Torah to Am Israel. Rashbi answered Moshiach 'This is not possible, yet!'.

Understanding the secret of the Tzipor - צף אור - the Light Floats. The Gematria of Tzipor is שע 370 - same value as two El 185x2=370- 370 LIGHTS.

This is the secret of the final redemption. The Tzipor cannot exit the Ken HaTzipor till he receives the KETER Torah - the same one that HKB'H wore when giving us His holy Torah. When the RIGHT person gets to the Ken HaTzipor and place the Keter HaTorah on Moshiach, then Moshiach will exit the Ken HaTzipor and redeem us.

This is the SAME secret of Moshe Rabenu, zs'l. His wife, Tzipora, a'h, placed on Moshe Rabenu the Keter HaTorah!!! And then, Moshe Rabenu redeemed Am Israel.

Why do we eat Matzot on Pesach? This is the secret of the Yetzer Hara. The pride of the person comes from נפחה - inflation (of the yeast...). A person that covers their head (men with Kipa and woman, with a head covering) break their will of pride for HKB'H and becomes humble. Covering the head shows that belief in HaShem and knowing that HKB'H is always above us. Jews have traits of being shy and mercy. How can a person eat while walking in the street? He has no shame!!! It's forbidden and it shows that this person is not humble. That's why we eat Matzot - to be humble.

Matza according to the Kabalah is the brain of the person. The brain is built in a way that there all liquids are purest, without mixture. Matza on Pesach gives us the brain for the whole year - the LIGHT and it helps us win the Yetzer Hara. HaShem gives us the brain 3 times a year - on the 3 Regalim - Succot, Pesach, and Shavuot. On Leil Shimurim, there is not Yetzer Hara.

A first born is holy for HKB'H. Anything first - food, fruits, vegetables, sons, etc. The first-born were supposed to work in the Bet HaMidash. The first born needs to have Pidyon HaBen. What is Pidyon HaBen? Buying the first born from HKB'H. HaShem created the Olam with the 22 letters. The B'chor has these letters - Kaf Bet.

HaShem wants us to ask HIM to fight for us - איש מלחמה. Alef - Elokim; Yud - YKVK; Shin; Shakai.

PARSHAT VA'ERA 26 Tevet/January 17, 2007

***** NEW ******Listen to Rav Dahan's Parshat Va'era shiur, HERE

וידבר ה', אל משה And HaShem spoke to Moshe (Rabenu, zs'l). וידבר is a language of softness. HaShem has many Names but except for the Muslims, all nations do not know HaShem is echad - ONE. The way we behave, HaShem's unique name comes closer to us. If we are merciful, HaShem comes closer to us in HaShem's Name of Av HaRachman (Merciful Father). There are people who have much success from garbage (reselling other people's garbage), and you see the blessings of HaShem very clearly... The opposite is also true, r'l - when a person feels depression and things are not going smooth, this person lacks closeness to HKB'H, r'l, HaShem comes to the person under HaShem's Name of Midat HaDin (Judgement). Know that when things are not going properly, 'you lost keys, flat tire, etc.' this is Midat HaDin and things will get worse unless you quickly wake up.

Midat HaRachamim (mercy) is plentiful, if known how to accept it without losing sense of the truth... The Midat HaDin comes from Midat HaRachamim - Illusions & Ultimate Truth to help you to wake up. Don't go to people for help, you will only regret it, sooner or later - why don't we only ask from our Father, HKB'H for help instead of from people. HKB'H helps unconditionally with His Name of your midot.

The sun is from Midat HaRachamim. The sun slowly gives light and slowly fades - not at once. This is for us to get used to the light of sunlight. The same is with not suddenly dying or suddenly born... Same for the Geula - it cannot come suddenly, it comes in Midat HaRachamim.

When we are buried, after 120 years, HaShem places a Gariin (seed or kernel) underneath the head. When it's the time for resurrection, the Gariin will compose the Jewish bodies into flesh and HaShem will place the Ruach in the person. The same thing happens with a tree that dies, the Gariin regrows into a new tree. This is how resurrection will be - very very very very soon!!!! The proof is there is hardly any room in the earth left for burial, there are cementaries of 10 floors with buried people.

Who will resurrect? Not every Jew - ONLY those who believe in HKB'H. There will also be non-Jews, including Muslims, that will resurrect - Who? Those that keep the seven Noahide commandments.

The plague of the frogs - הצפרדעים: Reb Nachman, zs'l, says this plague is ציפור דעת - bird of knowledge. What is the connection between the frog, bird, and Pharoah? The frogs made much noise and the noise is a nuisance. A person who is bothered by much noise is a person without knowledge. The Rav explains that the brain is placed in our heads on water, when the head moves quickly, the brain become inactivate and therefore, a person cannot think - i.e., a person running, ball players (basketball, soccer, football, etc.), cannot think and are lacking knowledge.

You want knowledge? To make the right decisions? Stay in one place, without moving. Proof is this is how we fall asleep. Spiritual people need quietness.

Egypt was tikun of the knowledge. That's why that generation is called Dor HaDe'a. What is knowledge? When the left and right side are united and balanced. The proof is that young children cannot bring children. A boy gets married at 12, he cannot have children for he has no knowledge. When does the knowledge come? At age 13, from the power of the Tefillin - the way it's placed on the head on all sides, this gives the power of knowledge. Our generation is also tikun of the Da'at - Tikun of Adam HaRishon, zs'l, that ate from the forbidden Etz HaDaat - Tree of Knowledge. We have choices between the good and bad. The knowledge has the power to know how to separate the good from the bad.

Bnei Israel in the generation of Mitzraim had the Da'at and from the suffering of the Egyptians, they used the Da'at and united - to realize HaShem and during the 40 years in the Midbar (desert) they were united as one - this is the power of knowledge.

Every plague that HaShem hit the Mitzrim, the Mitzrim used witchcraft to do the same - except the Kinim - lice. They were not able to duplicate this plague. Sorcery is active also today and there are people who are spellbound. There is a way to know if you are under a spell (if you are witchcrafted) - sit in a place where there are ants - if the ants climb on you, you are under a spell. If the ants do not climb on you, you are not under a spell.

There is also a method to know if Ayin Hara (Evil Eye) is on a person. Take a glass of water and pour oil (any type) on the water. If the oil sinks in the water, the person has much Ayin Hara. If the oil floats on top of the water, there is no Ayin Hara on you, b'h. Also, another way to know if a person has Ayin Hara on him is if he has headaches/dizziness for no apparent reasons. A person that never knows where anything is, has much Ayin Hara on him. Ayin Hara causes Pizur scattering and being absent-minded.

Another important thing is Ayin Hara and witchcraft is controled mostly on hair and usually at night. The night is the most sensitive time for getting striked by Ayin Hara. The most popular place for strong strikes of Ayin Hara are weddings. Yes, weddings. Everyone looks their best for a wedding, and keeps looking in the mirror (at home and in the wedding) to check themselves that they look very good... This causes for much Ayin Hara - that people see you in your best, best outfit, best shoes, best, best, best and therefore, the Ayin Hara is most powerful. If you notice, almost every wedding has some kind of tragedy. An expensive dress gets dirty, a suit gets damaged, someone loses something, a home gets robbed, etc...

People who are not controlled by Ayin Hara:
1. Modest people. This is very powerful method to keep the Ayin Hara away. Notice that people who buy brand new cars and show off, they cars, someway or another, gets damaged, scratched, etc. 2. Baalei Chesed - People who do charity. Ayin Hara never hurts them.
3. People born in Adar - the sign is pisces (fish), Ayin Hara does not harm the fish.

The Rav gives methods how to remove Ayin Hara:
1. Water. Dunking in a pool, beach, Mikvah, etc.
2. Salt.
3. Eggs. Encircle an egg on top of your head 7 times and outside your home, break the egg and throw out the shells (not on anyone's head :)

To remove Ayin Hara from your home:
1. Wash the house floors occassionally with at least 2.2 lbs (1 kilo) of salt.
2. Place Za'atar in the home

Ayin Hara is not eternal but it can keep coming back. Try to avoid going to people's home that give Ayin Hara and avoid altogether people that give Ayin Hara. How do you know whom? You go to a person's home and he is stingy with sharing his food and hardly gives you coffee to drink... If a small amound of food falls on the floor, do not pick it up to eat it. Better to sweep it up into the garbage.

Saying Bli Ayin Hara does not help at all. Saying בן פורת יוסף בן פורת עלי עין Ben Porat Yosef Ben Porat Alei Ayin is very powerful against Ayin Hara.

The lower the person believes that he's nothing - like Dovid HaMelech, zs'l, who said he is ash, the closer HaShem approaches this person. It's so important to be modest and humble. You see a person, say hello. You see a child, say hello. Always smile to people, even if they don't smile back. Capture your pride - what's there to be proud about? Each person has a sensitive spot that get very hurtful - whether it's beauty, money, singing voice, wisdon, etc. Use this proud point to bring it to humbleness. Proudness stinks (snobs) - these people have a terrible odor. BE HUMBLE.

We must reach Achdut for the complete redemption or else the Geula will be stalled by Pharoah and he will again enslave and torture us. Pharoah was short, just as Iran's Ahmadinejad. His name has the same gematria as Haman, imach shemam. Chas VeChalila if we don't reach Achdut (unity) this Haman will make this Purim very unpurim. We'll need to bring out Esther HaMalka, a'h, and Mordechai HaTzaddik, zs'l.

Why do the Goyim always jump to kill the Jews? Why don't they have the will to kill the Findlanders or some other nation? Because we are not doing Teshuva! We have HaShem, no one else does. But we MUST do Teshuva. Who's Afraid of Weapons? HaShem can erase and wipe all in 1 second!

The plagues hit from bottom to top
Blood (underground)
Frogs
Vermin
Beasts
Cattle Disease
Boils
Hail
Locusts
Darkness
Slaying of First Born (who lies on the earth? Man - the top)

Man forgets HaShem when he has money and feels power. Plagues comes on to this person, slowly from the bottom and if he doesn't wake up, till the top.

Hodu Le HaShem Ki Tov! We should all wake up to do Teshuva before getting striked with Midat HaDin, and Moshiach Tzidkenu will come with mercy, Amen.

Parshat Shemot, 23 Tevet/Jan. 13, 2007

The Rav said that saying the name of HaShem, YKVK in Ivrit, is totally forbidden. People in our generation that use Malachim's strength (angels) by saying their names, it stems from the Sitra Achra. When they start saying the names of the holy Malachim, they have no power to command the Malach to do anything. But as they continue slowly reciting the holy names, a demon dressed in Malach's clothing come to them and does as asked. But afterwards, the devil causes disastrous deaths, most times it is thru choking.

The Rav warned not to go to these people that verbalize HaShem's names in their mouths. Be very cautions because they are only pretending to be helping peoples. Also, the Rav said DO NOT say HaShem's name YKVK, written ADONAI and not names of Malachim, unless you are praying, and then, you must say it. This warning is only for the holy names of HaShem and Malachim. Saying HaShem's names Rachum, Chanun, Shalom, Shabbat, etc. is allowed.

Read the story of HaShem's Providence to understand the following...
The wife, a'h, of Rabbi Hanina ben Tardion, zs'l, knew that saying holy names of HaShem and Malachim is unallowed and because she didn't stop her husband from saying it, she was punished for this. At that time, woman knew wrong from right and because she knew and didn't object, she was caught and killed. All 3 accepted their judgments, although the punishments were very severe.

The Gemara brings that the Romans used to have competitions with the Jews in stadiums and the Jews were obligated to watch. They would argue with the Jews about Judaism and from there, the xtians learned how to be xtians. They twisted the truth of Judaism to their benefits and created a new god. That how they compromized the belief in J, imach shemo.

This is how the non-Jews deny Judaism and the Gemara brings this story to show how much HKB'H is Makpid (strict) with His Tzadikim. The answer of this Olam is that in reality, it was created for the Goyim because they do not have any part of Olam Haba. But for the Jews, this Olam is only a preparation for the Olam Haba. This is the reason goyim enjoy this Olam and have pleasures in it. We can see that Germany, who was extremely cruel to the Jews and killed over 6 million Jews, HaShem did not revenge them and did not destroy them. The opposite is true, they have wealth, etc.

BUT, everything goes according to the END. There is not one nation, man, woman, child that harmed Jews and will be acquited!! Whomever caused Jews to suffer, Creator of the World will revenge the blood of the Jews by rampaging all these nations and people. Whomever raises their arm to harm, it is as if harming the holy Divine Spirit and he is called wicked!

We are in a state where it's going to get dark, 10 times darker than it was in Galut Egypt. We must strengthen in Emunah. HKB'H made it possible for ALL Jews to learn Torah thru the internet, television, radio, etc. In every place, Torah can be found. A person cannot say "I didn't know".

These are the last moments before the Geula. In Geulat Egypt, only 1/5 of Jews were redeemed and in the very soon redemption, very few will merit to be redeemed. HKB'H changes in every generation the leadership. Every generation changes leadership according to HaShem's name. The proof for it is when HaShem told Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, that the Forefathers will know HaShem in the name SHAKAI. Moshe Rabenu redeemed Am Israel in the name אהיה Eheye. HKB'H sent Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, zs'l to write the Zohar HaKadosh specifically for this generation, because the geula is depended on him. There is no other Strength except the ZOHAR to redeem Am Israel. HaShem gave Rashbi to operate at the End of Days to redeem us. The whole Torah of the Zohar is concealed Kabbalah, and only MOSHIACH will clarify the secrets of the secrets, NO ONE ELSE is able to explain the deep secrets of the Zohar except MOSHIACH.

There are people who do not believe in the power of the Zohar and they belittle it and they leech onto parts of the Torah, but never to the Zohar HaKadosh and Kabalah. This group is presently 80% of the Jews, just like in Egypt. This 80% are not wicked, c'v, they are leading in erreneous ways of HKB'H and they think that the Zohar is CHAS VECHALILA idol worshipping. This is the reason they died in the plague of darkness in Egypt and did not merit to be redeemed. The same will happen again.

Those who follow the written and Oral Torah, will be redeemed. It should be HaShem's will that we strengthen in Emunah and we will follow the LIGHT OF HASHEM, HIS will. And MAYBE we will merit to see the Geula THIS YEAR, MAYBE.

The goyim are trying to enter the BIBLE into Eretz Israel and all over the world, together with their ideology. It causes much confusion to the Jew and it can even cause the Jew to deny the oral Torah. If a Jew, c'v, falls in this trap, he is considered a heresy. It is very dangerous and the Rav is warning to stay away from these people, they are squads of the Sitra Achra built to fight the Jews and Judaism - BEWARE!

Parshat Sh'mot 19 Tevet/Jan. 10, 2007

***** NEW ******Listen to Rav Dahan's Parshat Shmot shiur, HERE

The Torah is always continuous and eternal, including the present. The Parsha starts with "ויקם מלך חדש על מצרים אשר לא ידע את יוסף And a new king ruled in Egypt, and he did not know Yosef". Yosef HaTzaddik, zs'l, is the Yesod of Am Israel and this is the beginning of Am Israel, as it says "they multiplied..." Yosef HaTzaddik's sons were Efraim and Menashem, zs'l. Efraim is from the word multiplying and Menashe is from the word Neshama (soul). Within 200 years, Am Israel multiplied to millions.

Pharaoh tortured the Jews so they will stop multiplying but they multiplied even more. So Pharaoh said that every son must be thrown into the river, thinking that without the boys, the daughters will not multiply. This is what Hitler, imach shemo, also did - killed all Jewish children.
The mothers would hide the baby boys in the fields and the Malachim would come and feed them and this way, they survived. If the Jewish woman goes strongly with Emunah and trusts HaShem completely, she is much stronger than a man. It was in the merit of women, that Am Israel were redeemed. All the redemptions, were in the merit of women. Esther HaMalka, a'h, redeemed Am Israel (Purim). Yehudit, a'h, redeemed Am Israel (Chanuka). Prophet Miriam, a'h, redeemed Am Israel from Egypt. When Pharaoh decreed all boys to be thrown into the river, Miriam's parents, Amram told Yocheved, a'h, to divorce. Miriam HaNevia told her father that he is worse than Pharaoh. Pharaoh decreed to kill the boys but Amram is killing also the girls. Upon hearing this, Amram remarried Yocheved and from this union, Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, was born.

This is how HaShem sends the redeemer, when everything looks so dark, when Israel is threatened with atom bombs, antisemite is growing, etc.

Yocheved put Moshe Rabenu in a small floating crib in the river. Miriam HaNevia watched her brother to make sure he is not harmed. Batya, daughter of Pharaoh, went to the river to wash herself. She sees the floating crib and stretched her arm to retrieve it. She saw a 3 months old baby but he looked much older. She had mercy on him, a Jewish trait. Miriam, seeing Batya taking her brother, Moshe Rabenu, she offered Batya to find a woman to feed the baby. Batya called the baby Moshe and he grew up in the palace. He knew he was Jewish and at the age of 40, left the palace to see how to help his Jewish brothers.

Moshe Rabenu was physically very strong. The first day, he killed an Egyptian and on the second day, he saw 2 Jews fighing, Datam and Aviram. When Moshe Rabbeinu saw this, he said to them "Rasha (evil), why are you hitting your friend"? When Datam and Aviram told him that they saw yesterday that he killed the Egyptian, Moshe Rabenu ran away from Egypt to Midyan - place of Dinnim (judgments).

4 Tzaddikim whom ran away to the Be'er (water well): Moshe Rabenu, Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Yaakov Avinu, and Chaim, z'sl -Roshei Tevot MoSHIACH. Who is Chaim? HaRav Chaim Vital, zs'l, the student of the Arizal. He was the Moshiach of his generation, a tremendous Tzaddik and Mekubal. During the time of the Arizal, he lived in Tzfat and after the AriZal passed away, he took his family and moved to Yerushalayim.

The Arab Pecha ruled Yerushalayim and Rabbi Chaim Vital knew that under Har HaBayit, there is a stream of water, Gichon, and when revealed, he knew that this is the secret of Moshiach to be revealed right away. This water would go upwards to the Bet HaMikdash and purify it. The Arab Pecha decreed on Rabbi Chaim Vital to reveal this stream and if not, he will be killed. Rabbi Chaim Vital said the Holy Name of HaShem and with his family, house, and furniture 'jumped' to Damascus, Syria and lived there till he passed away. The AriZal appeared to him in Damascus and told him that if he would have done what the Arab Pecha demanded, it would have been the biggest Tikun and Moshiach would have appeared forever.

Rav Kaduri, zs'l, said before passing away to search the name of Moshiach. Vital in Turkish also means Chaim - LIVE.

Moshe Rabenu married Yitro's daughter, Tzipora, a'h. He was a shepherd and would take the sheep to the desert. One sheep ran away and Moshe Rabenu ran after him and saw that the sheep ran to the water for he was thirsty. Moshe Rabenu had mercy on the sheep and picked him up to carry him back to the flock - at that minute, HKB'H revealed His Kavod to Moshe Rabenu, the first time, and said "MOSHE MOSHE, the same way you had mercy on the sheep and carried him, I want you to be the shepherd of Am Israel". This is the secret of Tsunami. What is Tsunami? Tzon Ami - sheep of my nation, and Tzu Na Ami - go out my nation. The more a person is merciful, the more HKB'H reveals to this person. This is HaShem's name - Rachamana - Merciful Father.

The next time HaShem revealed to Moshe Rabenu was in the Sne (bush of thorns)- HaShem revealed thru the fire and thorns. Why did HaShem appear thru the thorns and fire? To show us that HaShem is suffering for Am Israel. When HaShem told Moshe Rabenu that he will be the Moshiach to redeem Am Israel, Moshe Rabenu refused this position. It says in the Midrash that HaShem spoke to Moshe Rabenu many weeks to accept the position of the Moshiach.

HaShem showed Moshe Rabenu 3 things to convince him to become the Moshiach:
1. A stick changing into a snake;
2. Moshe Rabenu's hand became Tzraat (leprosy); and
3. Water turning into blood.

What is the connection of snake, leprosy, and blood to our generation.
1. We recently saw the snakes flying (Lebanon War II).
2. The leprosy which is the plagues, and we will see it very soon, as it says in Yechezkel. Very soon will be the end stage of Gog uMagog. Rav Kaduri, zs'l, said before passing away that the Gog uMagog (all the nations of the world) will end in Yerushalayim, as it says in the Neviim.
3. There will be a blood plague and this blood will wipe out all that needs to be wiped.

All the 3 is remez to Lashon Hara. Secret of Pharoah - PE RA - bad mouth. Those that speak Lashon Hara are the Pharoah. To reach the end to Olam Haba, is very difficult, just as a race, the start is easy but the ending is very difficult. The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says that there are 3 shapes for the tikun:
Circle - the world
Triangle - the tikun of the circle; and
Square - secret of the brain. Everything is built on 4 - (table, chair, mezuzah) this is the tikun of the Olam.

These 3 were shown to Moshe Rabenu in the S'ne, from the word Sinai - where Am Israel received the Torah. Why Sinai? The revealing of Moshiach Tzidkenu causes Sina (hatred) on Am Israel. Know that the more Anti-Semitism grows, HKB'H is revealing to Moshiach Tzidkenu to get ready to be revealed - opposite of logic.

Nations of the world are arriving daily in Lebanon and are conspiring against us and on the 'grand' day - this is IT!!!

'ואלה, שמות בני ישראל And these are the names of Bnei Yisrael'. Am Israel are the secret of the letters of the Aleph Bet that HKB'H took out of His mouth and gave birth to Am Israel. Every Jew is the yesod from his name and the destiny of the life.

When a person reaches the special level of spirituality, he "purchases' the letter Nun - Nun is the letter of Shaarei Bina - Gate of Wisdom. The Nun together with HaShem, becomes NESHAMA. Moshe Rabenu got the Nun and became born. Whatever happens to Moshe Rabenu happens to Am Israel. When the Neshama of Moshe Rabenu was being born, Am Israel was going thru labor pains in Egypt and also being born- the birth of Am Israel and Moshe Rabenu, the birth of Moshiach.

'וימררו את חייהם בעבדה קשה בחומר ובלבנים They made their lives bitter with hard work with raw materials and bricks' - בחומר ובלבנים is the secret of Am Israel birth. And that's how Noach HaTzaddik, zs'l, built the ark. Noach HaTzaddik did not do the Tikun with the ark. In the beginning he was Noach HaTzaddik but towards the end of his life, he damaged and was called man of earth. Moshe Rabenu was the gilgul of Noach HaTzaddik, zs'l and returned as 'man of water', to correct the damage of Noach HaTzaddik.

The first LIGHT that was revealed was when Moshe Rabenu was born. His name was really Tuvia - Tov - the good of HKB'H. When Batya, bat HaShem, daughter of HaShem, saw the light, she converted and in the redemption, she went out with Am Israel and she survived the 40 years in the Midbar and merited to live in Eretz Israel and married a gigantic Tzaddik.

She was a Goya (non-Jew), daughter of a very wicked man, king of Egypt who enslaved and tortured the Jews but she realized the truth and left it all behind, to become Jewish. When people cry how to do Teshuva, the best example is Batya, a'h.

MOSHE is a tremendous name. It spells HASHEM and HaShem spoke thru Moshe Rabenu. Moshe Rabenu broke his will completely for the Sh'china and was the most humble.

This is what we need to learn. People boast that they have a degree from the most prestigious university, and this person says he is worth a million dollar, and this person shows off his mansion, and that person shows off his car, etc. ALL THIS IS NOTHING!!! These people are the big shots of nothing. In one minute, it can all disappear. HaShem can send a little tiny bug and make this person sick in bed and unable to move. This is our generation's punishments - tiny BUGS that cause the flu, cold, sickness, death. The more materialistic a person has, the more he is in pain and in falls deeper into depression.

HaShem does not give Moshiach 'soldiers'. He works alone as did Moshe Rabenu. In Midyan, he had to fight the worst klipa - the Pope of our generation. The Pope of their generation was Yitro, his wife, Tzipora's father. Moshe Rabenu had an additional name, Tzipor. What is Tzipor? Tzaf Or - The LIGHT floated - this is what Moshe Rabenu saw in Tzippora, that she is from the Kedusha. Same as Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, saw in Rochel and Leah Imenu, a'h, that were pure holiness, even though they came from impurities.

Tzippora had Ruach HaKodesh and knew how to give her son Brit Mila, as it says "ותקח צפרה צר ותכרת [את] ערלת בנה". She saved Moshe Rabenu's life. In order for Moshe Rabenu to remove the holy sparks from the impurity of Yitro, he agreed that his first son will be given sacrifice to the gods of Yitro. Moshe Rabenu entered the garden of Yitro and sees a standing stick and he leaned on it. He saw in the stick the Holy letters of HaShem's name. Yitro told him that if he will be able to remove the stick from the ground, he'll give him his daughter Tzippora. Moshe Rabenu was able to remove the stick. It says that this stick was from the time of Adam HaRishon, zs'l, and no one was able to remove it. Yitro knew that the person who will remove the stick will be the redeemer but Moshe Rabenu did not know. He kept the stick and used it when he was a sheperd. This is a secret never told before and I'm going to reveal it now:

At the Sne, HKB'H asks Moshe Rabenu, מזה what is in your hand? Moshe Rabenu answered a stick. מזה Maze in Gematria value is 52, same as Eliyahu (HaNavi), zachur latov. What is the job of Moshiach? To reveal HKB'H. How did Moshe Rabenu reveal to Am Israel HKB'H? Thru the מזה - Eliyahu HaNavi! Eliyahu HaNavi is always with Moshiach!!!

In the future, all Tzadikim will have the stick. How will it be in Tchiat HaMetim? The Tzaddikim will knock 3 times on the kever of the dead person and the dead will resurrect. Who will resurrect? ONLY those who believe in HKB'H.

After 40 years of living in the Midbar with Tziporah, he purified himself. HKB'H revealed to Moshe Rabenu and taught him how to use the stick - it was like a wheel and it controls the nature.

In the time of Rabbi Chaim Azulai, the grandfather of the Chida, zs'l, they tried forcing Moshiach to arrive. Without going into this story, I'll tell you what will happen in the time of the Geula from Chesed LeAvraham:

Those that will merit to survive to the Geula, at least 600,000 Jews, will gather in the Midbar, near Har Sinai and Moshe Rabenu will resurrect, as it says Raya Mehmna Wake Up. Moshe Rabenu will take the Jews to Maarat HaMachpela and will wake up our Forefathers. Moshe Rabenu and Eliyahu HaNavi will hold hands with the Forefathers and all 5 will go to Yerushalayim. Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov Avinu, Moshe Rabenu, and Eliyahu HaNavi will teach Am Israel the Torah.

We are seconds away from this. I'll tell you now a secret. אולמרט OLMERT - he is the only name that has the word ATOM - he is the only one of all Prime Ministers and Presidents of Israel who dared to talk about the ATOM and even said 'we have atom bomb'. From all the first letter of all Israel's Prime Ministers names you will find the word Moshiach (all three that start with the letter Aleph, throw away, like the 2 Ehuds). The same thing you will find in all names of Presidents of Israel - Moshe Katzav, Shazar, Yitzchak Ben Zvi, Chaim Weitzman.

This is a very strong signal from HASHEM. His name is CHAIM, as we said Rabbi Chaim Vital, he will bring us the LIVE. After this government, which is no government at all, it's the END

Parshat Vayechi 16 Tevet/Jan. 6, 2007

The Yetzer Hara is like a leech and it has 2 daughters in Gehenom that are called Hav Hav.... One is from the authority of prostitution and the other from heresy (denial of the truth). Whomever falls into the trap of both at the same time, does not have tikun (repair) and is sentenced to death. The Gemara speaks about this and brings some terrible things that were done, to teach us that as bad as it looks, there is always a chance for Tikun in the manner of Teshuva but not when sinned together!

One very famous story is the story of Rabbi Elazar ben Dordaya, zs'l, that he did not leave any harlot in the world without coming to her... To read the fascinating story, Teshuva in 5 Minutes. His tears of sincerity raised to the maximum and it merited him that HKB'H considered him a Baal Teshuva and took his neshama at that moment and was considered a Rav, even though he never did any Mitzvot.

These days and the period of time we are in, is very similar to the time of Rabbi Elazar ben Dordaya, zs'l. The Teshuva movement is decreasing immensly and the situation is worsening. The Gates of Teshuva are shutting down and every day, it's harder and harder to do Teshuva. It used to be, a few years ago, to do Teshuva was much simpler. Today, someone who wants to return to HaShem and succeeds, it is considered a very big miracle.

About 30 years ago, the Rav says that he, together with Harav Amnon Yitzchak Shlita and Rav Nachmani, zs'l, began a very big Teshuva movement and people would come by the thousands to hear and learn and many did Teshuva, also very famous people. Today, from Gush Dan till Eilat, very few merit to do Teshuva. The Teshuva Gates are getting locked up.

Today, there are almost no baalei Teshuva that go with HaShem in simplicity till the end. The Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) is very powerful and has mush strength to fight the Kedusha and it does it thru prostitution and western cultures.

The burden of taxes and business forces the parents around the clock to work and always, it's never enough. The younger generation of today sees the pressure of the parents in the home and the way the parents are trying to feed a family of 5. These pressures frightens them and therefore, are in no rush to get married. That's why we see so many single men and women, even in our community. This leads the younger generation to heresy and not believe in HKB'H (and those that learn in universities and colleges do not even connect HKB'H to their learning... r'l, they connect everything to 'nature').

Many couples that do get married, are in no rush to bring children. They ususally bring less than 2 children and this causes for even more drastic descent in Emunah in HaShem.

The Rav brings proof to this that before Moshiach's revelation, the Ben Ish Chai, zs'l, in the Sefer (book) Torah LiShma says that before Moshiach's arrival, it will be possible to do Teshuva but this Teshuva is not powerful. It is like a person doing Teshuva in complete darkness, and these are the last moments before sunrise.

The timing of this is right before Moshiach's arrival and it is one of the biggest secrets before Moshiach's arrival. This is THE TIME TO DO TESHUVA in unity. We are in the time that the Mekubalim implemented for us the tikun (fixing) of the Yesod - SHOVAVIM. It is a period of time that has much powerful light and tremendous help for the person to correct his deficiencies in connection to the Brit Mila. It is a time that is very worthwhile for the person to fast a few days in a row. But, if the person does not have the strength to fast a few days consecutively, he should at least fast 1 fast, together with giving Pidyon of money (Tzadakah/charity) for the tikun of the Brit HaKodesh.

The damage of the Brit needs to be corrected and it is very dependant on the Geula. We must strengthen and awaken in Teshuva in this period of Shovavim and it will hasten the Geula very significantly.

The goyim (non-Jews) know that to wipe out Am Israel quickly is thru prostitution, goyot (non-Jewish women). This is their reinforcement to impurify Am Israel, the Jews, in ways of 'intelligence'.

The one who is glued and attached to the Torah, the Torah protects him from these evil, as it says in the Gemara 'משלי ב) "מְזִימָּה תִּשְׁמוֹר עָלֶיךָ, תְּבוּנָה תִּנְצְרֶכָה". אָמְרוּ לֵיהּ רַבָּנָן לְרַבָּא, מַאי "מְזִמָּה"? אִי לֵימָא תּוֹרָה", דִּכְתִיב בָּהּ "זִמָּה", וּמְתַרְגְּמִינָן "עֲצַת חֲטָאִין", וּכְתִיב, (ישעיה כח) "הִפְלִיא עֵצָה הִגְדִּיל תּוּשִׁיָה". אִי הַכֵי "מְזִמָּה", "זִמָּה" מִיבָּעֵי לֵיהּ? אֶלָּא מַאי "מְזִמָּה"? מִדִּבְרֵי זִמָּה תִּשְׁמֹר עָלֶיךָ!!!!!!!!!!!

If a Jew comes onto a Goya (non-Jewish woman), even if she's single or menstruating or he spilled seed for nothing, must have a tikun. Also a woman, if she aborted (from the minute the fetus is recognized as a baby (after the first 40 days - nk), she must too have a tikun, as it says in the Zohar HaKadosh in Sefer Shemot, page 3, 71 and 72.

There are 3 kinds of people that repulse the Sh'china (Divine Spirit) from the land and even when screaming for help, are not answered!!!

1. A man who sleeps with menstruating woman - there is no worse impurity than this in the world. It causes terrible sicknesses on him and his generations from this sperm because the impurity of menstruate leeches onto the sinners.

2. A man that has intercourse with a Goya. On this it says: שמות כ,ג) לא יהיה לך אלהים אחרים על פני ולא תשתחוה. You shall have no other gods before me and you will not bow down, etc.

3. A person that kills his children - the person who is responsible that his wife aborted whether intentionally or unintentional. This is a great sin and about him it says: יש הורג נפשות וזה הורג בניו, אוי לאותו האיש, טוב לו שלא יברא, ועל זה העולם מתמוגג מעט מעט ואינו נודע, והקדוש ברוך הוא מסתלק, ודבר וחרב ורעב באים לעולם, שזה האיש ההורג את בניו זו היא נשמה שהולכת ושוטטת בעולם ואין לה נחת רוח: There is one that kills souls and one that kills his children. Oy to this person, and better if he would not have been born. And the world takes pleasure and it is unknown, and HKB'H leaves. And a plague, swords, and hunger strike the world, and the person that killed his children, this soul goes and strays in the world and never has satisfaction.

Rav Dahan Shlita says that today a person can do all sins at once by going with a prostitute, r'l: Goya, menstruating woman, and spilled sperm. It is very dangerous, extremely dangerous, as seen by Rabbi Elazar ben Dordaya, zs'l. He went down in the deepest Klipot till all the Gates of Teshuva were shut for him and all that he had left was to cry and spill the tears and this was the only Gate that was open and not yet locked up.

In another matter, people pray and beseech HKB'H but do not get answered. Why? It is because how is it possible to speak in Bet HaKnesset (shul)??? It is like a Bet HaMikdash Katan. In the Bet HaMikdash, Am Israel brought sacrifices to HKB'H, and if their thoughts were not pure, the sacrifice was unacceptable and it was able to be seen because it would not burn completely. A person had to have pure and holy thoughts for his sacrifice to be accepted.

In our generation, we don't have the Bet HaMikdash to bring sacrifices. We have prayer instead of sacrifices. How is it possible to speak and talk during prayers?! Or during Torah learning?! Or fighting over a seat? Or have a dispute? Or speak about non-holy 'things' during prayer in a synagague????

Don't wait till it's too late. Return to HaShem now, a person can do Teshuva one day before death...

Parshat Vayechi 12 Tevet/Jan. 2, 2007

***** NEW ******Listen to Rav Dahan's Parshat Vayechi shiur, HERE or HERE

Parshat Veyechi is the signature Parsha for Sefer Bereshit. Sefer Bereshit is all about the preparation of Am Israel. The Torah begins with Avraham Avinu and ends with Yaakov Avinu, zs'l. Avraham Avinu had Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l, and wicked Yishmael. Yitzchak Avinu had Yaakov Avinu and wicked Esav. And all Yaakov Avinu's 12 sons were righteous children. Therefore he is called Bechir Ha-Avot, Choicest of the Forefathers, and the most talked about in the Torah.

When Yaakov Avinu heard that Yosef HaTzaddik, zs'l, disappeared, he became very saddened and did not have prophecy during the 22 years of separation from his son. Yaakov Avinu considered himself dead, c'v, without Yosef HaTzaddik. When he heard that Yosef HaTzaddik is alive, he wanted very much to see him. When he arrived Egypt, HaShem told Yaakov Avinu to ask for anything and HaShem will fulfill it. Yaakov Avinu said that since Yosef HaTzaddik was taken away from him when he was 17 years old, his request is to to live 17 years more to be able to be with his son. HaShem granted him 34 years, gematria Veyechi (and he lived).

Zohar HaKadosh asks why does it say Vayechi in Egypt and not in Eretz Israel? Yaakov Avinu was over 100 years old when he arrived Egypt, did he not live before? Even a person that has everything, but his child is missing, everything means nothing, as if dead. What did Yosef HaTzaddik have that was so powerful that his father felt he had no life when he was gone? All the nisosot of Am Israel was in Yosef HaTzaddik.

ויקרא יעקב, אל בניו; ויאמר, האספו ואגידה לכם, את אשר יקרא אתכם, באחרית הימים.
And Jacob sent for his sons, and said, Come together, all of you, so that I may give you news of your fate in future times.

This is the secret. Yaakov Avinu's last words was about End of Days. A person before death thinks a million times what to say before leaving the world. The end always determines and is the most important, in every task. For Yaakov Avinu, the end was to speak about the End of Days.

Harav Yehudah Ptaya, zs'l, was Kadosh Elyon. He used to speak with neshamot (souls) like we speak to one another. Once, when he removed a dybuk from a girl, he spoke to the neshama afterwards and asked her what happened on her day of death. She answered she saw the Angel of Death with his sword and on it, a drop of bitterness. He told her to rebel against HKB'H and promised her if she says there is no HaShem, c'v, he will grant her 20 more years to live. She listened to the Angel of Death...

This is one of the reasons that it is very important to always say SHEMA ISRAEL HASHEM ELOKENU HASHEM ECHAD with concentration and belief. Because when the Angel of Death appears, he tricks the dying person to rebel.

The Rav tells a story about his father, z'sl, who worked at Chevre Kaddishe. He called my brother-in-law and told him 'say with me Shema Israel right now'. My brother in law begged my father to stop but Rav Dahan's father told him he sees the end and this is it. He said Shema Israel and passed away, while on the phone. Before the soul leaves the body, Shema Israel MUST be said so the soul doesn't suffer!

In our daily prayer, we ask that we die with prior knowledge and not 'grabbed' suddenly away (i.e. car accident). We don't know when we are going to die, but the Tzaddikim know; Yaakov Avinu knew his final day on earth and gathered his children to tell them the End of Days but HaShem made him to forgot and he bless them all.

The truth is, Yaakov Avinu did reveal the secret of End of Days in the blessings to each son. First it needs to be understood that Yaakov Avinu knew each son's root and he named each according to the spiritual root. Each person is unique and requires a blessing according to the character. If a person is sick, it's ridiculous to bless him to be smart - it's not an appropriate blessing.

Yaakov Avinu never harmed his Brit and kept his eyes pure. He got married at the age of 84. His thoughts were pure with tremendous holiness when Reuven, zs'l, was conceived.

This generation is very harmed from what they see thru the eyes - TV, computers, internet, immodesty, etc. Seeing impurities removes much energy.

The blessing to Reuven for the End of Days is to keep the eyes pure to merit seeing the Kedusha (holiness) -- Moshiach.

The blessings for Shimon and Levi, zs'l, for the End of Days are to turn their physical strength into spirituality and be tutors of the Torah.

The blessings for Yehuda, zs'l, for the End of Days is to unite the lost 10 Shvatim and become from Yehuda to Yehudim (Jews) till Shilo (Moshiach) arrives. We see many lost Jews uniting with us now from countries like Ethiopia, India, etc. The reason Am Israel survive forever is from the strength of the mouth, using the mouth for truth thru prayer, learning Torah, etc.

If you want children to grow up in truth, speak with them only with truth. You cannot tell someone to keep Shabbat and meanwhile, you don't keep Shabbat. If you want people to believe and listen to you, speak the EMET truth. When Moshiach arrives, lies will be non-existant; this includes money and all materialistics. The only truth is HASHEM and His Torah.

The Gemara says that one time a person was in the desert and saw a hole in the sand. He stuck a piece of cotton inside and when he removed it, the cotton was burning with fire. His friend told him it's Gehenom. He told him to put his ear next to the hole and he'll hear the truth. When he did it, he heard "Moshe Emet and Torato Emet" (Moshe Rabenu is truth and His Torah is truth). This was Korach saying it since being swallowed up by the ground when he argued with Moshe Rabenu, zs'l. (The only time it's allowed to lie is for Shalom Bait -peace between a couple).

This is the secret of Yehuda - every word that came out of Yehuda's mouth is truth and believed. This will be Am Israel, the Yehudim, when Moshiach arrives - TRUTH.

Americans are big liars. Many people don't have food or clothing and are homeless, but America prefers to use money for searching water in outer space - nonesense and lies.

כבס ביין לבשו, ובדם ענבים סותה חכלילי עינים, מיין; ולבן שנים, מחלב
He washeth his dress in wine, And his garment in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be dark with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

The Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, asks what kind of a blessing is it to wash clothings with blood? He answers that Moshiach's clothing will be bloody but out of his mouth, will only come out the truth - his teeth white with milk. How will we know to point on a person and say this is Moshiach? The Zohar Hakadosh says that Moshiach will use his mouth to kill the wicked, just as Moshe Rabenu killed the Egyptian with his mouth; 'צדיק גוזר והקב"ה מקיים Tzaddik decrees and HKB'H fulfills'.

The blessings for Issaschar, zs'l, for the End of Days is 'חמר גרם Issachar is strong as donkey'. Yissaschar is split into 2 words "Yesh Sachar - there is reward'. Thru Issaschar, Yosef HaTzaddik was born.

What is the Yesod? The foundation. Without foundation, everything falls. This was Yosef HaTzaddik, the foundation.

The Rav hears the radio news sometimes. He heard on the radio in Israel that every month, a million Israeli Jews go to prostitutes. This is the SM (Sitra Achra)! These people will not survive because they didn't protect their Brit with HaShem.

When Yosef HaTzaddik was in Egypt, alone, young, orphan, separated from his father, and feared that his brothers who want to kill him. But he didn't fall into the trap of Potiphar's wife. He never harmed his foundation, the Brit Milah.

This Olam is called Egypt - the klipot. HKB'H sees everything and only the Jews that never harmed their Brit, these people will survive and live in the time of Moshiach.

Next week, starts Shovavim, it is the Tikun for the Brit. The Gemara tells the story of Rabbi Elazar ben Dordaya, zs'l, that he did not leave out any harlot in the world without coming to her... To read the fascinating story, Teshuva in 5 Minutes.

The end of the world is approaching. Everyone knows and feels it. But who will survive? HaShem's Lovers Will Survive!

A father is never considered dead if his children are Tzaddikim. Before passing away, Yaakov Avinu said SHEMA ISRAEL and all the children answered 'HASHEM ELOKENU HASHEM ECHA'. Yaakov Avinu said EMET and passed away. The Bat Kol came out and said 'ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד Blessed be His Glorious Majesty forever and ever.'

The Kavod of HKB'H is the most important and eternal.

It should be HaShem's will that this shiur is Le'iluy neshamot and strength for all the souls of Am Israel and we should strengthen in Emunah, Amen. Refua Shlema and strength to all Am Israel, Amen.
Yaakov Avinu blessed his sons to see Moshiach, this blessings should be for our generation, to see with our eyes Moshiach Tzidkenu, Amen Ve'Amen.

Shabbat Parshat Vayigash 9 Tevet/Dec. 30

Gemara in Avoda Zara speaks about the time when the Romans began taking interest and believed the holy Torah and wanted to come close to the Torah. The Gemara shows the stages of a king against one of the biggest Tana Kadosh Elyon R' Yehudah HaNassi, (aka Rebbi and prince), zs'l.

Roman Caesar Antoninus felt a big desire to learn Torah and come closer to Judaism. The Gemara speaks of his fear of losing his royal position if it will be known that his real interest is Judaism and was he felt afraid to be removed from rulership. The Gemara speaks about how they used to communicate thru signals and not speak so no one would notice.

Antoninus built a secret underground tunnel from his palace directly to the house of Rebbi and he would often come to learn Torah. This was a kept secret only between them and in order not to be discovered, he would kill the two guards that he posted, one at the entrance and one at the exit. One day, when Antoninus came to Rebbi, he was annoyed when he saw the sage Rabbi Chanina bar Chama, zs'l. Antoninus turned to Rabbi Chanina and commanded him to go the doorway and bring the guard. In fact, the guard was dead but Antoninus was testing the Rav to see what he would do.

Rabbi Chanina went to the doorway and was shocked to see the guard dead on the floor. If he would come back to report this, Antoninus would blame him for murder and if he quickly left, never to return, it would cause him much trouble. Rabbi Chanina davened to HaShem to bring the guard back to life. Suddenly, the guard stood up on his two feet alive. Antoninus was shocked because he knew the guard was dead. This miracle caused for Antoninus to become a better person and he served Rebbi like a servant serving his master.

Antoninus wanted advise from Rebbi about his son, Asuros, if he should give him the royla reign after him. Rebbi explained that crowning his son will not be good because it will cause slavery to the Jews.

Once Rebbi wished to step up onto his couch and Antoninus quickly bent down so that the Sage could use his back as a step to climb onto the couch. Rebbi protested that Antoninus is going too far and reminded him that he is a king and and even kingdom of the goyim is not to be mocked.

"I wish for nothing more than to serve you always. I wouldn't mind to be your doormat in the world to come," Antoninus cried out. "Do you think that would be possible?". Rebbi told him that it could be possible but Antoninus brought proof from the Torah that it says that the descendants of Esav would be destroyed and he knew he is Esav's descendant. Rebbi explained that it talks about people who are wicked as Esav but because Antoninus is trying to find the true path in life, he is not considered Esav.

How is it that Antoninus wanted to learn Torah so much? He merited this because Rebbi's and Antoninus mothers switched babies for a few days and during that time, Antoninus drank milk from Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel's righteous wife, Rebbi's mother.

Two Ger Tzedeks (righteous converts) that merited Olam Haba are Antoninus, zs'l, and Keti'ah bar Shalom, zs'l: Towards the end of Domitian's reign (c. 96 C.E.), just before Keti'ah bar Shalom was executed, he had himself circumcised and was immortalized by the sages for his act of devotion (B. Avodah Zarah 10b).

On this Rebbi says: "יש קונה עולמו בשעה אחת ויש קונה עולמו בכמה שנים One may acquire eternal life after many years, another in one hour!"

Another convert was Unkolus, zs'l, whom interperted the Torah into Aramaic. The Gemara says that every troop that the King sent to imprison him, Unkolus would make them do Teshuva.

When the great Rabbi Eliezer, zs'l, became sick, the other sages visited him. He told them that they would all be killed, and that Rabbi Akiva's death, zs'l, would be the worst of them all. To Rabbi Eliezer's great anguish, the sages became so infuriated that they denounced him as a heretic before the Romans.

"What's a great sage like you doing with such foolishness?" asked the Roman judge. "Wouldn't it be better for you to worship our gods?"

"I trust my Judge," replied the rabbi.

Rabbi Eliezer meant that he trusted in God and that he must have committed some great sin for which he was now suffering. A number of Roman priests who attended the trial, however, assumed that Rabbi Eliezer was agreeing with the judge and accepted the Roman gods.

Later, when the other sages were being sentenced to death, the Roman high priest swore that Rabbi Eliezer was loyal to Rome and did not deserve to die. After all, he had admitted to the divinity of their gods. Rabbi Eliezer was released unharmed.

The real reason that Rabbi Eliezer was saved was that he was in place of Reuven, zs'l. Since Reuven had cautioned his brothers not to kill Yoseph HaTzaddik, zs'l, Rabbi Eliezer was not killed; but because he told them to place Yoseph HaTzaddik in the pit, Rabbi Eliezer was also arrested and had to suffer.

At the time, Rabbi Eliezer did not know of this. When he returned home, he thought to himself, "What did I do to deserve such suffering?" He took account of everything that he had ever done, seeking a sin that could be responsible for it so that he would be able to repent. Try as he would, he could find nothing.

The other sages also tried to comfort him, but he would not be consoled. Finally, his disciple, Rabbi Akiva, said to him, "Let me say a few words. Perhaps you once spoke to a heretic and enjoyed his words. That might be the reason that you became associated with them; it might have been your punishment. We are commanded to keep as far as possible away from them."

"You're right!" replied Rabbi Eliezer. "Now that you remind me, once I was walking through Sepphoris (Tzipori) and I met a heretic leader. He engaged me in conversation and said, 'As you know, rabbi, money paid to a prostitute may not be used for a sacrifice, as the Torah clearly says. (Deuteronomy 23:19) But tell me, rabbi, can this money be used to build a toilet for the High Priest (Cohen Gadol)? As you know, the High Priest must separate himself from his house for seven days before Yom Kippur and remain in the Temple precincts. There are many things that he needs there, and among them is a good toilet.'

"I refused to answer him. But then he said to me, 'I think that it should be permitted. This money comes from a filthy place; let it go to a filthy place.' Because Rabbi Eliezer did not answer him, he transgressed a Torah prohibition since it is prohibited to use money that comes from prostitution for holiness, even for a toilet for the Kohen Gadol and even if both are dirty.

This world is known as the world of lies (עלמא דשקרא), and acts in the secret "Vav" that is temporary. This secret is found in the name Esav; a man of field who likes the immediate temporary satisfaction. Esav did not care about being the first-born and easily sold it to Yaakov Avinu, zs'l.

This is why Yaakov Avinu held on to Esav's heel because in the near future, the prophecy of
וְהָיָה בֵית יַעֲקֹב אֵשׁ וּבֵית יוֹסֵף לֶהָבָה וּבֵית עֵשָׂו לְקַשׁ" And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it" will materialize.

Esav's reward are only in this Olam. The "Vav" are the constant lies. When we investigate the truth, what do we find? The truth is one absolute and it is the Torah for eternal. When we clarify that the Torah is truth, it is found in the heel of Esav whom agreed to exchange the first-born title. This is the secret of the first-born; a first-born gets double inheritence and Esav sold it to Yaakov Avinu in exchange for this world's lusts.

A person who holds on to this Olam's materialistics, might find that he is tangled up in Esav's web. On the other hand, a person who wants EMET truth, must attach to the SHEVA (seven).

This is the secret of the Torah. This is the name of HKB'H and Shabat is SHEVA.

A person who wants to attach to the SHEVA, must attach himself tightly to the Torah for it completes the person and increases him from the "Vav" to the 'SHEVA'. Once a person is firmly glued to the SHEVA, he can then attach himself to HKB'H. This is as long as the person is firmly glued to the Torah, firmly glued to Emuna and fear of Heaven. He then merits to be firmly attached to the SHEVA leadership and this is the direction we are nearing every minute and is very close to us.

On this it says מי שלא טורח בערב שבת(6), לא אוכל בשבת "Whomever does not struggle Erev Shabbat, will not eat on Shabbat (7)".

There are no more sorting from the temporary world of Esav; the immediate satisfaction and materialistics, because it is only transient.

The Rav said that presently, the Goyim (non-Jews) are aware that the TRUTH is with the Jewish nation and not by them. They know this very well and therefore, the religious non-Jews learn the 'bible'. The Pope and the churches also know that they don't have the truth. They claim that Yaakov Avinu stole the first-born title from Esav and know they are the descendants of Esav. Proof is Antoninus telling Rebbi that he is descendant of Esav... The Goyim bear a grudge that Yaakov Avinu 'tricked' Esav to sell the first-born title and 'stole' the blessings from Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l.

The lies of the Goyim are slowly being uncovered and revealed. This causes the Jewish nation to be even more hated and anti-semite rising. Am Israel is called after Yaakov Avinu and HaShem said "I gave the truth'. To whom did HaShem give the truth? To Yaakov Avinu.

Every 70 years during the time of the Romans, they used to dress up a Roman in the flesh that was scalped from Rabbi Shmuel, zs'l (he was very handsome), and place the 'dressed' Roman on the chariot and say: "This is how Judgment Day looks: The beauty of the Jews is fake and ours is authentic".

EMET (truth) is eternal, Am Israel is eternal "נצח ישראל לא ישקר Eternal Israel does not lie".

The Goyim of today understand that they cannot physically ever destroy us. They tried with the inquisitions, holocaust, progroms, etc. but did not succeed. The Jews eternally sprout.

Now, they are testing with a new experiment of destroying the Jews spiritually. How? By mingling with us and deeply penetrating the Western secular culture. These are the fingernails of Esav that are being exposed.

The truth is that it is clear to all that the Jewish nation is "עם לבדד ישכון people that dwell alone" and we have no one to depend on except our Father in Heaven,
"אין לנו על מי להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמיים".

We must attached and glue ourselves to the holiness of the Torah that was given to us in this Olam (world of Esav). As long as Esav had vitality from the truth, he did not uncover his wickedness. But now, when the truth is known that it is with the Holy Nation, Esav is aware that his time is very limited. This is the root of the hatred of the Jews shared by all nations. This is the secret of their cruelty.

Religions of the world feels threatened by Am Israel, whether it is Muslim or xtianty. How is it possible that they believe in a human, J.? He was Jewish and when he rebelled, he was expelled. He decided to perform Kabbalah magic to be believed that he is god and that's how xtianty began, thru lies, because they first worshipped idols and then changed their worship to a human.
The Gemara speaks about a Jew that wrote the Koran for the Muslims and this is publicly known. Every Muslim country prints and observes the Koran according to their desire.

Between the Muslims and xtianty, the Muslims are more preferred because they believe in god, whereas xtianty believes in a human that offered only lies.

Rebbi said "The same way the world cannot exists without wind, the world cannot exist without Am Israel". The world is full of deceipt and the only truth is Am Israel, when they are attached to HKB'H and His Holy Torah. This is the truth. The goyim know this and are aware that their days are numbered. Therefore, their maximum effort is investigated in delaying the final redemption.

Thruout the stages of the Gemara, we can learn where the giant Sages had strength. We don't find any recorded war being fair; strong vs. strong and/or many vs. many. Always it was many vs. few, as follows:

Rebbi vs. Antoninus
Unkulus vs. Roman Empire
Yehuda HaMaccabi, zs'l, vs. Romans
Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, zs'l, vs. Romans
King Dovid, zs'l, would draft very few men for his wars
Moshe Rabenu and Aharon HaCohen, zs'l, vs. Pharaoh and his army

How were all these wars won? From the power and strength of the Torah that the Tzaddikim had during all generations and HaShem revealed His greatness.

To differentiate, the present govement of Israel boasts 'כחי ועוצם ידי The power is in my hand' and HKB'H shows us that we cannot even raise our arms. The nations of the world know that when the Jews are not attached to HaShem, HKB'H give the strength to them 'when they are up, we are down and when we are up, they are down'.

When can we be up? Only when we do Teshuva and come close to HKB'H and His Holy Torah.

Parshat Vayigash, 5 Tevet/Dec. 26

Parshat Vayigash, 5 Tevet/Dec. 26

Rav Dahan Shlita's students, who wants to remain anonymous, purchased for our Rav an MP3 recorder and b'h, it captured the shiur clear as crystal, very close to CD quality, b'h.

***** NEW ******Listen to Rav Dahan's Parshat Vayigash shiur, HERE or HERE

This is the most emotional Parsha when Yosef HaTzaddik and his brothers, zs'l, reunite after 22 years. The whole family reunites and all 70 (nefesh) go down to Egypt. This is the beginning of Am Israel, and it starts in the Galut, in Egypt. Midrash says that Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, did not want to go down to Egypt even though he knew in prophecy he will need to go to Egypt. When the brothers told their father, Yaakov Avinu, about Yosef HaTzaddik's location in Egypt, HaShem appeared to Yaakov Avinu and told him that He will accompany him to Egypt and not to be afraid. Egypt is a country of very bad influence and impurities and this is what Yaakov Avinu was afraid of.

We see in our generation, we are experiencing similar Galut as the previous exiles. The non-Jews wanted to destroy the Jewish nation completely. There is nothing to fear from the Persian threatening us, they will not destroy us. Our generation is being prosecuted by non-Jews but in a different way. In the time of King Menashe, zs'l, there were very few Jews who were not influenced by the non-Jews to serve idols; during that period, serving idols was a very big lust. B'h, we returned to HaShem's Torah. In the last 60 years, we, the Jews, are plunging very deep into forbidden sexual relations; incest - LUST is the last generation's Klipa. Prostitution is Sheker, lie.

Zimri thought of himself to be Moshiach ben David. He tried eliminating prostititution and instead, fell hard into this Klipa (Pinchas, aka Eliyahu HaNavi killed him). Rabbi Nachman, zs'l, says that King David, zs'l, removed the Satan and depression from him thru singing because the Sitra Achra/Satan/Yetzer Hara hates singing because it minimizes his powers. The Zohar HaKadosh says that the rose, Shoshana, is red but when squeezed, it becomes white. How does a rose become red? The (thorns) Satan which are the impurities causes the rose to be red. The original color of a rose is white and white is pure. To be white (pure), all thorns and impurities must be removed.

There are 3 kinds of thorns: Murderer, idol worshipping, and forbidden sexual relations. The last one is our generation's tikun. To deceive the Brit Kodesh (circumcision) thru forbidden sexual relations causes HaShem much anger.

In this Parsha, YeHuda, zs'l, and Yosef HaTzaddik meet. They challenge each other to proove that each is the EMET - truth. Yehuda is the lion (MBD) and Yosef HaTzadik (MBY) is the bull. They are both very similar in strength and power. As the lion, Yehuda's power is in the mouth. When the lion roars, everyone respects! The bull's power is in his leg - Yosef HaTzaddik is the leg of the Merkava.

Zohar HaKadosh, zs'l, says about our generation that when Moshiach arrives, any minute, he will say "I'm Yosef, Od Avi Chai? (is my father still alive?). HKB'H will answer "remove from Me all people with impurities". Only Am Israel will survive and the Zohar says that we are like the lioness and HKB'H is like the lion and HKB'H will connect as the Lion to the Lioness and who dare separate the 2? HKB'H will reconnect to Am Israel, His children, after 2,000 years since the destruction of the 2nd Holy Temple. This is the connection of Yosef asking Od Avi Chai.
Yosef HaTzaddik was separated from his father for 22 years, as HaShem was separated from Am Israel for 2,000 years, till Moshiach's arrival very very soon, Amen.

Why did Yosef HaTzaddik accuse his brothers of stealing? This is the Tikun. A person being stressed by another person cleanses the klipot. He wanted them to cleanse from kidnapping and selling him by stressing them. We are paying a greate price of 2,000 years for selling Yosef HaTzadik, including the greatest 10 Gedolei HaTorah whom were tortured to death. They were the gilgul of the 10 brothers. The Ramchal, zs'l, says that is why Moshiach is among the impurity just as Yosef HaTzadik was in Egypt, among the impurities.

It is very very dangerous for Jews whom live outside of Eretz Israel. It takes less than 1 minute to fall into the world of the Non-Jews, c'v, and intermarry. A person must be a real genuine Tzaddik to live outside of Israel and not fall into the non-Jews' traps. If a person doesn't keep Torah and Mitzvot, his life (neshama) is finished. The seculars living in Eretz Israel are better off than Jews who reside outside of Israel because they don't intermarry; and b'h, they marry only Jews.

When Yosef HaTzaddik told his brothers "I'm Yosef", they fainted from fear. We are in the last moments before Moshiach's arrival and when Moshiach arrives and says "I'm Moshiach", we will faint from fear. The Zohar HaKadosh says the brothers died at that moment. That's why Yosef HaTzaddik gently and slowly revealed his identity but even though he finally revealed himself, the brothers died.

Why do we cover our eyes when we say Shema Israel? Covering the eyes doesn't cause jealousy. There is nothing to be jealous of when one cannot see. The secret of jealousy is gematria 156, same as Ka'in. Why did Ka'in kill his brother Evel? Because he was jealous of his brother that HaShem accepted Evel's offering and not his.

HaRav Ovadia Yosef Shlita's dream 5 years ago: "Shabbat night I saw in a dream Mashiach arriving at the Kotel, and the plaza there was filled with people. He (Moshiach) says to them: 'Jews, I came now, and there are a million students that do not learn Torah, they are learning in secular schools. I want all Yeshiva students to enlist. Whoever is for Hashem come to me -- in order to be teachers to teach them Torah. There shouldn't remain a single school without Torah, everyone will learn Torah." Moshiach told him that if 1 million people will say the Shema Israel, covering their eyes, Moshiach will appear. Harav Ovadia said: "I am hearing all this in a dream until I awoke."

Who is the EMET (truth)? HaShem. These are the last minutes of Am Israel in this Olam. I already said it before and will say it again and would even swear if I could. This generation is the last generation and this generation will merit to feel the adventures of EMET - Moshiach's arrival and unite with HKB'H, the EMET. The non-Jews filled us with everything possible with impurities. We are screaming to HaShem to redeem us, the same as the Jews did in Egypt, before the redemption. When Moshiach arrives, he will bring us happiness and the great Light.

I can see thru a person, see-thru external beauty, and thru the smells of perfumes. I can see thru a person even if he's wearing the most tailored suit, the nicest ties, and the newest shoes. I can see his neshama screaming and yelling in pain. Does he think he can cover the pained neshama with expensive clothing? The person has no life and only works all the time. What pleasure does he have from this Olam? He dies naked. It won't even be good memories once he dies. On his judgment day, he'll regret terribly being slave to money and fashion. People drive themselves crazy with work, work, work for money, money, money. What kind of a life is this? It's a non-life, not in this Olam and not in Olam Haba (next world).

The Rav tells a story of a Chassid who lived in Russia and had a big urge to move to Eretz Israel. He gave the Satan all his money and gold and they signed a contract that the Satan will no longer posses him. The Chassid moved to Israel and saw immodest girls with their belly buttons showing... He complained to the Satan that he broke their contract. The Satan told him, "You signed the contract with my employer, in Russia. You never signed anything with me...".

From where will the bad start? Samech is Syria. Aleph is Iran. Lamed is Lebanon. Mem is Mitzrayim (Egypt). This are the Samech Mem of this generation. They are all around us and these nations want peace with us. What peace? They want to remove us from Eretz Israel and to to chop chop us; in the North, in the South, and in the Central. The government doesn't care about the Jews - they gave them Gush Katif and placed the Jews in great danger. More Jews died, a'h, after the Gush Katif disaster than ever before.

The Lubavitch Rebbe, zs'l, warned Prime Minister Menachem Begin, a'h, not to give any parts of Eretz Israel and warned him that if he will, the government of Israel will never stop giving land away. Since then, that's all they have been doing, returning holy land. Do they think it's theirs to give away? It's the land of HaShem. The Arabs don't even want the land. They want us dead! Who started this stupidity that Arabs want land? Every time we give them land, they say "We don't want land. We want you dead!". If the government of Israel was smart, they would know that the Arabs don't want land. Where did the Palesinians come from? There is no nation Palestine. They ruled Israel for almost 2,000 years and never did anything productive with the land.

HKB'H is everywhere all the time. The Sh'china comes every Chatzot (midnite) down to this Olam with tears, to feed all of us, including the wicked. The wicked take the most from the Sh'china. You see a person who is a 70 year old millionaire who has no energy except to make 2 million dollars more. That's why people do Tikun Chatzot, to comfort the Sh'china as she feeds and cries about the impurities. The tears of the Sh'china are Emet.

This is a very emotional Parsha. It's not a story for entertainment, it is to be learned from. The brothers reunite with the brother they sold, the father is alone and torn. Everyone cries in this Parsha; the brothers, Yosef HaTzaddik, Yaakov Avinu, and Binyamin, zs'l. These tears are HaShem's tears. HaShem comforts all that cry, even Esav the wicked who cried that his brother took away his blessing from their father, Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l. HaShem cries with us and one tear of HaShem that falls into the sea causes a devastating Tsunami. The tears of HaShem that cause Tsunamis are meant to comfort Esav's tears. Mordechai HaTzaddik, zs'l, knew that Esav's tears cause devastation in the world.

There is only thing that opens the jail inside the person, and it is tears. If a wife cries because her husband causes it, HaShem collects her tears and it might kill the husband, even if the husband is a Tzaddik. It happens and I'll tell you a story. The husband always came home at 9:00 pm but one nite, it was 9:30 and he didn't come home yet. The wife cried with worry for her husband and the Talmud says that the husband died.

The tears cause the eye pain because the tears cleanse the lies. The tears burns the eye because the truth is forthcoming. When a person cries to HaShem with truth, HaShem will reveal to the person whatever he asks for. HaShem is very soft and merciful and cannot stand before tears. If we, Am Israel are so merciful Rachmanim bnei Rachmanim (mercy bnei mercy), how much more so HaShem?!. Can you stand to see a child crying? You will right away have an urge to help him/her. Why do babies and young kids and children cry so much? Did they lose a house, car, or money? They cry about the lies of this Olam and that he was forced to come to the world of lies. They cry over every little thing because they know the EMET. To remove the lies, CRY with tears and cleanse the lies. This is the secret of Yosef HaTzaddik and Yaakov Avinu and the parsha of tears.

My friend was single for a very long time. Whenever I'd see him, he would ask me if I have a girl for him. I told him pray to HaShem and he answered that he prays a lot. I asked him if he ever cried with tears to HaShem asking for a wife. He replied that he never cried while praying to HKB'H. I told him that this Shabbat when the Heichal is open, cry to HaShem, and I promise you him he'll find a wife. He told me that he did it and never cried so sincerely ever before. Crying on Shabbat is forbidden except for very specific things, like prayers. A week later, I saw a girl in my shul and I didn't think that it would be a match for my friend but I tried. When I offered him to go out with the girl, he agreed to try it. The girl said she saw the guy but he's not for her since she's tall and he's short. I was able to convince her and they went out and got married, and have many children, b'h.

These are the power of tears.

As the family of Yaakov Avinu reunited after many years and had much happiness, may we also merit to have so much happiness in the near future and greet Moshiach Tzidkenu, Amen Ve'Amen.

Shabbat Chunukah, Parshat Miketz 2 Tevet/Dec. 23

Rav Dahan Shlita teaches "Ein Yaakov" Gemara. Occassionally, he connects the learning with the Geula from the Drash.

This Shabbat the Rav spoke about how close our generation is to the end and we are entering the phase of the tests in trusting HaShem. This test will determine who is "me", the Jew; meaning who will activate his Jewish soul and who doesn't own a Jewish soul! This is going to happen very soon - when the non-Jews will decide to make Yerushalayim international.

You might ask, who is willing to give Yerushalayim away? Who will be willing to make Yerushalayim international city and who will be against it? The Rav said that it's clear that our nation is tired of wars, and therefore, many are willing to give away Yerushalayim to gain "peace and quiet".

The USA is investing megabucks on the Arabs in all domains. It got to the point where they occupy Israel on one side, fighting terrorists and on the other side, tie our hands to protect ourselves.

USA's malicious plans are to further us away from believing in HaShem. Supporting this is the way they respect professors, scientists, doctors and lawyers much more than spiritual guides. They prefer giving a doctor respect and acknowledgement instead of a Rabbi. They even removed the nationality of Jewish from ID. This is the outcome of education and investments in western cultures of the non-Jews. They give Israel money and maximum materialistics and it came to a point that Israel become materiallistically depended on the USA. Jews leave the Holy Land, instead of strengthening in Emuna in HaShem in Eretz Israel.

Within a few months, 2 major questions will be asked:
1. Who is Jewish? The one who will refuse to give up Holy Land of Jerusalem and refuse Yerushalayim to be internationalized. Those who will agree, it is a blunt and direct answer that this person does NOT posses a Jewish soul!

2. Does the plentiful derive from holiness or from the Sitra Achra (Satan)? Does plentiful cause for strengthening in Emunah in HaShem? Or, does plentiful weaken the Emunah? This is the question that a person will have to give judgment on, unless we rise spiritually above the materialism. This is the secret of "המשיח שהוא רוכב על חמור" Moshiach whom is riding on the donkey. Moshiach is not dependant on materialism and is in control of materialism. This is because he is connected to spirituality.

The more a person is connected to materialism, the more he will sink into the deepness of Gehenom to be cleansed.

This is will be very clear and focused process that we will go thru very soon.

Within a few months, the government of Israel will weaken and will not arise again. In this stage, there will be attempts from the non-Jews to appoint International rulership on Israel.

The Rav said that Moshiach's job is to cancel this world. Meaning, to raise the rays of Emunah and raise Torat HaShem and spirituality. To cause materialistics to sink to minimal and raise the spirituality to maximum.

The Gemara writes that days of Moshiach is 2,000 years. We are at the end of the 2,000 years and we also passed the 2,000 years of Torah. We are at the entrance of the 7th thousand. According to the exact calculations, 40 years are left from the 2,000. Meaning, within 40 years Moshiach MUST already be here, in the status of royalty and rulership.

Question: "Today in our days, there are various and many Judaism flows. There is Hassidic, Litvich, modern, young Israel, etc. How does one that wants to do Teshuva behave? Who should he connect with and which way it the 'correct' way?

Rav Dahan Shlita answered "When I began Teshuva, it was with Bnei Akiva (Young Israel) and that was 40 years ago. About 15 years ago, I met my Rav, HaRav Levi Saadia Nachmani, zs'l, and I asked him the same question that you just asked me. The answer HaRav Nachmani, zs'l, gave me, and he was a Torah gigantic, and I quote him 'As you see me, I wear a large white Kipa since strengthening in Emunah 30 years ago. Many disagree with the white large Kipa, but there is no Halacha Issur (prohibition) in Shulchan Aruch to wear this kind of Kipa. The Shulchan Aruch speaks about strengthening in Emunah, to have fear of Shamayim, follow HaShem's commandments, and learn Torah! The only difference that could be are the different version prayers of the Ashkenaz and Sephardic. Take a little from each religious 'flow' that is followed Hassidically. The basis of Halacha of Shulchan Aruch is learning Torah and keeping the Mitzvot'".

Parshat Miketz 2 Tevet/Dec. 23

span style="font-size:130%;color:#009900;">***** NEW ******Listen to Rav Dahan's Parshat Miketz shiur, click here
Miketz - the end. Yosef HaTzaddik reunites with his brothers, zs'l. It is a parsha of dreams, 2 dreams of Yosef HaTzaddik, and 2 dreams of Pharaoh. Their dreams were very similar. Chazal says that some dreams are prophecy and some dreams are nonsense. But we see that Yosef HaTzaddik's dreams came true, as did Yaakov Avinu's, zs'l, dream and Nebuchadnezzar's Dream.

There are 2 kinds of Ends of Days; Miketz and Acharit. Yosef HaTzaddik is also called Ketz Vav - the Yesod. The end is not necessarily destruction but end of this Olam and beginning of the Olam Haba (next world). Yosef HaTzaddik was in prison for 10 years with added 2 more years. The secret is Pharoah whom is the Ketz (end). From the Ketz, add additional 2 years, and this will be the Acharit.

Yaakov Avinu blessed Yosef HaTzaddik and called him 'Ben Porat Yosef'. The Midrash says Porat is Hu Poter - he solves. But always, Yosef HaTzaddik gave acknowledgement that HKB'H solves dreams; LeHaShem Pitronim. A dream that is dreamt twice, is a true dream of prophecy.
The Midrash says that Yaakov Avinu dressed Yosef HaTzaddik with Chashmal (Light) and this protected him in the pit from scorpions and snakes. It also saved him from the wife of Potiphar, whom was a beautiful attractive woman. This 'Light' saves the person. 4 people that knew how to use the 'Light" to save themselves are Moshe Rabenu, zs'l, from Pharoah; Yaakov Avinu from Esav; Yosef HaTzaddik from Potiphar's wife; and Rashbi, zs'l, from the Romans. These 4 are the secret of Moshiach in exchange for PaRDesS; Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, Acher (Elisha ben Avuya, called Acher: the other one) and Rabbi Akiva, zs'l. These 4 are in each person and this is the secrets of Miketz which will arrive in 2 years.

Moshiach Ben Yosef - Yosef HaTzaddik's root power is in his ability to fight the satan.
Moshiach Ben David - Yehudah's root power is in the mouth. We see this when Yehuda promised his father, Yaakov Avinu, to return Binyamin, zs'l, safely back home and his father agreed. Yehudah spoke the truth. His secret is in the mouth.

Today, everything are lies. In the near future of the Geula, it will only be truth. This is Moshiach's job; to bring out the truth and be the absolute truth. His truth is clear and focused and will be able to smell truth. Each sin has a smell and Moshiach will smell our sins of our souls and give us our Tikkun.

MBY and MBD will connect the lower world and the upper world as one. Moshiach will be spirituality higher than Adam HaRishon, zs'l. This is the secret of Moshiach - the TRUTH.

Rabbi Chaim Vital, zs'l, says something amazing. There was one drop that dropped from Adam Harishon and it reincarnated in the generation of the Great Flood, generation of Haflaga, and generation of Egypt. Yosef HaTzaddik saw this and commanded all Egyptian men to perform circumcision, for the tikun.

It is no coincidence that many nations perform circumcision. Presently, there is a mad rush in Africa and African men want to be circumcised. Non-Jews are now realizing that circumcision cleanses the physical body and prevents illnesses.

Why did Rochel Imenu call her son Yosef? Yosef means adding on. She knew that her son, Yosef HaTzaddik will need to go to the deepest depth of impurity for her Tikun. The Torah does not mention Chava, Leah and Rivka Imenu, a'h, death. This is the secret of Rochel Imenu's name; R - Rivka, CH - Chava, L - Leah. The Torah speaks about only about Sara and Rochel Imenu passing away. All the mothers are buried in the same place, Maarat HaMachpela except Rochel Imenu whom was buried in Bet Lechem, for her job is to be the mother of gathering all nisosot (sparks) of this Olam (world). Rochel Imenu is alive more today than ever before. HKB'H loves to hear her cries and HaShem listens to Rochel Imenu's crying for Am Israel and she'll not rest till Am Israel are all in Eretz Israel, in the Geula.

This Parsha, Miketz and the next Parsha Vayigash causes us to cry. The reunion of Yosef HaTzaddik and his brothers and with his father is very emotional. This is why Od Yosef Chai/Yosef is still alive. The tears of emotion cleanses our klipot. Yosef HaTzaddik represents emotions. Reb Nachman, zs'l, says that crying is a sign of the truth. The pupil of the eye is black and the tears washes out the lies. That is why the eye pupil is not white and that's the reason we describe lies as 'white lie'. The tears have a taste of salt and salt is tikun of the truth. Salt has many secrets. HKB'H only likes tears of emet, when praying and crying, it removes the lies and the tears are truthful. Truth causes for tears.

We are now at the End of Days and the great Light is very close. Ultimate truth will come from the lies . The Light will come out of the darkness. You want to know how close the Geula is? When the LIGHT will be from the darkness. HKB'H have shown us how it is possible, we have seen it before, when America dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. To view the atomic bomb, click here. It happened in the darkness but it caused for a great light. This will happen again, and with it, the final Geula, Amen.

Parshat Vayeshev 25 Kislev/Dec. 16

Iran will be totally erased along with other Muslim countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan, India, etc. The way it will be erased is thru a mega Tsunami. Afterwards, NY will fall (he didn't say how) and Yerushalayim will be raised and be the capital of the world.
He said that from all corners of the world, Jews are flocking to Eretz Israel and the wave of Aliya will continue strongly. Very few Jews will choose to remain in their foreign countries.
Israel Government will continue giving away Holy land and this is becuz they have permission from America. America is no friend to Israel but rather, taking advantage of Israel. The more land Israel gives, the richer America becomes.
In about 3 months, the Israel Government will tumble, fall, and be no more.

He said that Moshiach is connected to the name Ben Ish Chai (zs'l).
Very soon the nations of the world willl gang up against Israel and the only condition that HaShem will be with us, fight for us, and save us is thru Teshuva. But many Jews are not waking up. He spoke about Sederot and said that it's not 'candies' that are falling on them. It is missiles and kills. Many miracles have been witnessed thru all the many missiles hitting them, but are they doing Teshuva? Does anyone see a Teshuva movement in Sederot? No! They run away to Eilat and complaint about the danger in Sederot but yet, not doing Teshuva.
If we don't do Teshuva, the bombings will reach the center of Israel - c'v.

He said that doing Teshuva is very very difficult. He admitted that even for him, it is very difficult and blessed Am Israel to succeed fighting the Klipot wherever they are. He said the American Jews have the biggest battle against the klipot becuz materialism is worshipped and the plentiful America offers confuses tremendously.

He also said that to break the klipot and do Teshuva, a big Segula is to say Ana Be'Koach. It can be found in all siddurim in Kriat Shema.

1) We beg you! With the strength of your right hand, untie the bundled sins.
2) Accept the prayer-song of your people, strengthen us, purify us, O Awesome one.
3) Please, O Strength Itself, those who seek Your Unity, like the pupil of the eye, guard them.
4) Bless them, purify them, show them mercy, may Your righteousness always recompense them.
5) Powerful One, Holy One, with the abundance of Your goodness guide Your congregation.
6) Unique One, Exalted One, face Your people, those who proclaim Your holiness.
7) Our entreaty, accept, and hear our cry, O Knower of hidden things.

The "seven times" correspond to seven days of the week, symbolizing the need for G-d's constant protection. It also symbolizes the seven emotional attributes, the seven times a bride encircles a groom, and the seven Godly emanations (sefiros), the spiritual number of wholesness - 7 . It also recalls the merit of the seven Holy Shepherds responsible for bringing the Divine Presence to Earth.

He said that after saying it, say קר"ע שט"ן with spelling of your name. For instance, if your name is Moshe, say (from the second line) קר"ע שט"ן Mem, קר"ע שט"ן Shin, קר"ע שט"ן Hey.

He spoke about the slip of the tongue that Israel accidently said that they also has atomic bombs and this slip of the tongue is directly from HaShem. He mentioned that it was a hot issue a few years ago (with Vanouno) and put to sleep. The same thing will happen again now. But in 3 months, the issue of Israel having an atomic bomb will awaken and the nations of the world will accuse Israel of using the atom and then, the issue will not be put to sleep again. The balagan (mess) will begin.

He spoke about the lack of rain in Israel and said we need to pray and beg for rain in Israel. Israel is now under difficult judgments. He said not to speak bad about the Jews of Israel becuz it hardens the judgments on Am Israel in the world. If a person doesn't have anything nice to say about Jewish Israelis, to keep quiet is better than speaking bad about them. The Kineret water will drastically drop unless we do Teshuva.

He said that Israel is the only country in the whole world in the shape of the Sfira Hod (like an Etrog) and both sides of Israel are closed, in the South and in the North and it's strong Klipot.

He said that HaShem loves when we sing to Him and it gives HaShem much pleasure. Thru the singing, HaShem will turn the person's heart to feeling happy. He also said that saying the song Shirat Devorah Hanevia, a'h, is a tremendous Segula for happiness and for everything (yes, yes, yes - this is what HE said!!!). Before singing, ask HaShem to turn sadness of the heart to happiness.

He said that Gaza is a big tikun and the sea water in Gaza will elevate and wash away all the Palestinians. He said that the suicide bombers are the tikun for Shimshon HaGibor, zs'l, and the tikun is thru the eyes. In Shimshon HaGibor's name is Shemesh - Sun and the sun is connected to the Light and Chanukah. He said that Chana, a'h, mother of Shmuel HaNavi, zs'l, is hinted in the word Chanuka and connected to the lighting of Chanuka and Shemen Hamish'cha (oil). He said that in the first 30 minutes of lighting the Chanuka candles, a person can break thru the klipot by saying Perek 91 of Tehillim. After saying it, say passuk 7 of chapter 91 a total of 7 times and right afterwards, say Uriel (angel/malach) 7 times in one breath and Hatzlicheni - give me success.

Parshat Veyetze 11 Kislev/Dec. 2

HaRav Dahan said that a Neshema (soul) does not want to come down to this world, but after getting used to this world, doesn't want to exit. Even Moshe Rabbenu, zs'l, that lived to 120 years, till the last day, refused to die. When the Angel of Death came to take him with his sword, Moshe Rabbenu took away the sword and told the the Angel to tell HKB'H he doesn't want to die. Moshe Rabbenu agreed when HKB'H asked from him to be with the Forefathers, a'h, and HKB'H promised him that no one will live past 120 years, as it says:
ויאמר השם לא ידון רוחי באדם לעולם בשגם הוא בשר והיו ימיו מאה ועשרים שנה -
בשגם Gematria 120.

Every Mitzvah that a person does, gives clothing to the Sh'china (Divine spirit). When the cloth will be proper, suitable for the King, HKB'H will be revealed in the world. Each Mitzvah also gives a good spiritual smell. A sin gives a bad odor. For instance, a murderer has a very bad odor, the kind that Gan Eden cannot withstand. When Rabbi Yitzchak's, zs'l, days were numbered and it was time for him the pass from this world, he dreamed a dream. When Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai zs'l, saw him smiling, he asked him what he dreamt and Rabbi Yitzchak replied that he saw his place in Gan Eden with many rivers of persimmon.

The Jewish people sinned at the Chet HaEgel (Golden Calf) in order to generate the possibility of communal tshuva. That means that if there is a community (tzibbur) that wants to do tshuva, it is possible to rely on the generation of the midbar, because just as the Holy One forgave them, He can forgive us, our generation, community tshuva. It is in the merit of the generation of the midbar that we are here, in order to rectify their sin. Children that are brought into the world enables the tikkun of the the neshomot of their spiritual fathers. Therefore, one who has completed his tikkun doesn't need to bring children into the world, like the Lubavitcher Rebbe, zs'l.

Dovid Hamelech did the same thing when he "sinned" with Bas-Sheva--in order to make tshuva possible. If the Holy One forgave him, so too every person who does tshuva can rely on Dovid and request the forgiveness that he received. Dovid Hamelech had no taivos (desires for pleasures) to do anything improper with Bas-Sheva. He asked his neshoma and he was given permission because Bas-Sheva was his true soulmate. The neshoma knows this. The technique to speak with the neshoma: to be in a room that is totally white, to sit on a chair in the center of the room, and to speak words of Torah for a while, until in the end the neshoma comes and asks what the person wants, and it speaks in the voice of the person himself.

Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, wanted Leah Imenu, a'h, but because her father, Lavan, was a liar, he said he first wants Rochel Imenu, a'h. He got what he wanted. Leah Imenu is Olam Haba and Rochel Imenu is this Olam. Yaakov Avinu wanted first Olam Haba. When he ran away to Haran, he asked the Malachim (angels) for a blessing and when he returned (complete), the Malachim asked him for a blessing. The Rav explained that in order for a person to be complete in spirituality, he needs to be married or divorced.

This generation came to the world in the merit of Moshe, Shimon bar Yochai, Yaakov Avinu and Chaim (Dovid Hamelech). Dovid Hamelech wanted to be called "Chaim" because "Dovid" has the meaning of death (דווי). These four chose to redeem those of the Jewish nation who are not suited before the Creator of the world. Moshe Rabbeinu took out the Erev Rav from Mitzrayim, Shimon Bar Yochai in his cave redeemed the neshamot that were production mishap. Yaakov Avinu came back for two small vessels and battled with the angel. These two vessels are us, the neshomot that he chose to save. These vessels (כדים) also indicate the 24 (כ"ד) books of the Tanach. Dovid Hamelech also saved us. Rav Dahan said that this whole generation is [presently] unworthy in the eyes of the Creator of the world, with a few exceptions.

These 4 were caused to hide because of Lashon Hara (slandering). Moshe Rabbenu run away because of Datan and Aviram's Lashon Hara. Also the Rashbi because of Rabbi Yehuda ben Geirim when he slandered about Rashbi to the Roman authorities. Yaakov Avinu run to Haran because of slander and David HaMelech too.

The pursuers of the Jews are: Pharaoh, Roma, Esav and, (roshei tevot), Shaul (?). When Yaakov Avinu returned to retrieve the 2 vessels, the Angel of Death was there. Our generation, us, are the only one that the Sitra Achra damaged. According to the Rav, there is no possibility to cancel this.

Parshat Toldot 4 Kislev/Nov. 25

The Rav explained that Yaakov Avinu, zs'l, held on to Esav's heel in their mother's womb becuz Esav's heel contained holy sparks (nisosot) and this is Moshiach's secret. Yaakov Avinu cooked lentil soup; עדשים stands for aDaSHIM - Melech David, King Shlomo, Yishai, and Moshiach. Rav Kaduri, zs'l, also explained that the Vav is needed for the redemption. The Vav will be taken from Esav, turning Esav into straw.

Esav is the secret of Angel of Death. The letters Shin and Ayin is in the word TESHA - 9, and this will be the year of the Geula, 5769, and the year prior, 5768, will be a year of great commotions.

The Rav explained that we are certainly the last generation, also the last generation spiritually that came from the heel of Adam HaRishon, zs'l. It says in the Gemara שאין בן דוד בא על שיכלו כל הנשמות מהגוף - Ben David does not arrive till all the souls are eliminated from the physical body. Even the Orthodox Jews are not multiplying as much as they used to.

Souls that were born last year, 5766, come from the head of Adam HaRishon. This means that these newborn are very tall and gentle, also sensitive in the facial area. When they reach the age of 7, they will already know Kabbalah.

Adam HaRishon asked from HKB'H to see all righteous and scholars of Israel of all generations, till the final redemption. He saw that Rabbi Akiva (zs'l) was the grandest of all. How do we know this? The Rashbi (zs'l), and Reb Meir (zs'l), learned from Rabbi Akiva. It pained Adam HaRishon the way Rabbi Akiva was murdered by the Romans - but Rabbi Akiva was happy with his suffering, to fulfill the Mitzva to love HaShem with all his heart "בכל נפשך".

The Rav said a person who is suffering and is tormented, should thank HaShem. HKB'H gave the person the tribulations and thru it, it is a major chunk of Avodat HaShem.

The Rav warned against performing Séance. He spoke of a young man (Sharon) that used to perform seances daily, together with his army friends. He died 4 times and returned to life. On the 5th time, the Angel of Death appeared to him and warned him if he does it one more time, he will remove his soul from body forever (die). Tehillim, Perek 91, Yoshev Besetek Elyon יושב בסתר עליון -has the power to return the neshama, as it did for this young man. The Mekubal who treated the young man warned him against performing seances.

When calling souls during a seance, these neshamot are from Kaf HaKela (Catapult) and they are the trash of souls. Kaf Hekela is a punishment much worse than Gehenom. After 12 months of Gehenom, the soul purifies and goes to Gan Eden. Those in Kaf HaKela, the Malachim (angels) kick the neshamot from one end of the world to the other end.

A Jew that has a bastard ממזר son (child conceived not from husband, r'l), can only hope that the bastard will be redeemed from Kaf HaKela. If the bastard brings children, the problem magnifies 100x. Mostly, it is bastards that perform seances for entertainment. The Rav said 50% neshamot brought down during seance speak lies and 50% say the truth. They can give information such as who stole from you, etc. But the person who engages in Seances and then quits, the neshamot of the Kaf HaKela will not leave him alone and they cause him much harm.

The Rav warned not to go to fortune tellers, tarot card readers, palm reading, etc. They too cause much damage to the person. Also, stay away from tv. The Rav also said a person that lives alone or is alone, the evil inclination has more power over this person. The Yetzer Hara has less power when a person is not alone.

The Rav said that very soon, most will realize that Americans are more dangerous than the Arabs. They cause us to have confidence thru the materialistics: money, army, pension plans, life insurance, etc. This caused us to be removed farther away from HKB'H.

Matityahu took 10 men (zs'l), and with the power of the strength of Emunah, won the war (Chanuka miracle). With Emunah, wars cannot be lost and we saw this during the last war when the Hizb'allah won, because of their strong belief in Allah-u-Akbar. Am Israel will weaken further more, till there is none - no army.

The survivors will be the people with Emunah (trust) in God. Know that this will be a test of Emunah. Someone without Emunah will not be able to enter Olam Haba.

Parshat Chayei Sara, 27 Cheshvan/Nov. 18 '06

HaRav Dahan Shlita spoke about the Far East: China, India, Japan, North Korea and that entire area. Before Sara Imenu, a'h, passed away, she commanded her husband, Avraham Avinu, zs'l, that their son, Yitzchak Avinu, zs'l, should not grow up with "different" families. Avraham Avinu had many wives. When Avraham Avinu wished to fulfill her wishes, he asked his sons to leave but they refused. Avraham Avinu offered them money, gold, and property but they stubbornly still refused to leave the land. Avraham Avinu used various Holy name of HaShem and showed them "magic", i.e., a cup flying in the air. This influenced the sons to leave, on one condition. That their father teach them the secrets of the "magic".

Ever since, they are using this "witchcraft". How is it possible that these backward (3rd world) countries that do not have bread to eat, are blessed with nuclear weapons? Their strength come from the Sitra Achra; impurities of witchcraft.

The Rav said that 2 Malachim (angels) caused HaShem anger and HaShem threw them from there. And the Malachaim got mad and want to destroy the world.

Never in history is is recorded that Jews lived in Asia. Jews travel and tour there presently, but there is no account of Jewish history there. In Europe, Iran, and North Africa there is Jewish history, but not in Asia. Every Jew that travels to the Far East, strengthens their impurity powers and it is as if he murders a Jew.

The strengths of the Malachim in Eretz Israel are very weak, almost paralyzed.

The countries in the Far East will disappear, they are extremely dangerous to the spirituality. It is perhaps good that Philippines come to Israel rather than Israeli Jews go to Philippines. It is a form of Chesed (charity) from HKB'H.

The Rav told a story of an Israeli who travelled to India, and went to one of their holy sites searching for spiritual truth, as many backpacker travels do. One of the priests spoke with him and wanted to show him a secret. They arrived at an antique temple, and he showed him a very antique book, a few thousands years old. The priest asked the Israeli backpacker if he knows how to read this book. The Israeli looked at the book and saw the writing is in Hebrew and began reading. The priest told him, "You should know, this is a book from Avraham (avinu) and you are able to read it. What are you doing here? Go home to where you belong. In your homeland, you will find the spiritual truth you are seeking". The Israeli eventually returned to his homeland, Israel, and ended up registering and learning at Yeshivat Ohr Chaim.

The Rav said that he understands how HKB'H speaks, it is in hints. First, HaShem causes the Arabs to throw rocks. But we don't understand the hint or rock throwing and so, HaShem "upgrades" it with Kassamim and rockets. You don't understand? In the last Lebanon War II, Northern Israel was bombarded with rockets, missiles, kassamim, bombs, as well as Southern Israel. What did the Jews do? They swept the places that were destroyed in the North, cleaned it completely and buried the dead, as if nothing happened. They continued to live their lives. It would seem that residents and places from the North were never damaged. The Rav said that the "hints" HKB'H sent is not suffiently comprehended.

The Rav said that the month of Tevet is a very difficult month. It is a winter month that is equivalen to the summer month of Av, a hard judgment month. Whomever was born in the second half of this month, has a very difficult life. People born during this month, it is necessary for them not to erupt. If they do, they deeply regret it. The remedy is to be humble, put the head down and wait till the fury passes.

What a person asks from HKB'H, he will receive when he concentrates the YKVK name together with the uniqueness with HaShem. The Malach (angel) examines the requester, and if the person is pure, he will get his desire. If a person does not succeed to concentrate in his mind the name YKVK, it is a sign that this person is impure, and needs spiritual cleansing.

The Malachim came to test Avraham Avinu, "Where is your wife, Sara?". He answered them, "In the tent". This was a test of Sara Imenu's modesty. Sometimes a Malach comes in a form of a shliach (messenger). Today, we cannot know who is Malach. It can even be the mailman.

There are specific hours HKB'H is angry at the world. The hours are 3 hours from (חצות) mid-night. It is an extremely short moment of anger. It is so short, it is unimaginable, it is like a fraction of a second. But if a person is cursed in that second, it is liable to "catch on". It is not good that a person will be punished because of a Tzaddik (righteous), because also the Tzaddik might get punished for this.

If a person emotionally hurt you, it is preferable not to pay attention. This is different though from bodily harm or property harm. The Halacha is that the one who harmed in this fashion, must compensate with money. And the harmed person can prosecute him in Bet Din (Rabbinical court).

There are times that a wicked person exists in this world only for the purpose that Tzaddikim will be born from him. Therefore, do not wish a wicked person death.

The Rav spoke about the Caves of the Patriarchs. When a person physically passes away from this world, he sees a big bright white light and if he continues towards the light, he is "swollen" into it, and dies physically. But if he goes backwards from the light, he returns to be physically alive (clinical death). The Rav told a story of a mother that gave birth to a dead child and was so saddened, the child revealed to her in a dream and told her not to be sad and told her of the big light and gave her comfort.

If a person goes toward the light, 4 couples greet him. 1) Adam and Chava; 2) Avraham Avinu and Sara Imenu; 3) Yitzchak Avinu and Rivka Imenu; 4) Yaakov Avinu and Rochel Imenu.

They come to inquire if a person guarded his brit milah (the Covenant). If during the person's lifetime on earth protected his covenant of brit milah (circumcision), the holy couples bless you and you can safely continue your journey towards the big bright white light of comfort.

3 out of the 4 couples, the wife passed away before the husband. Today, the opposite is true. The husbands passes away before the wives.

Blessed and good week - שבוע טוב ומבורך

Parshat Ve'ara 20 Cheshvan/Nov. 11 '06

HaRav Shimon Dahan Shlita (Tsunami) spoke about fish and fish brings luck. In Parshat Bereshit, it says "ורוח אלקים מרחפת על פני המים" "and the Spirit of God moving gently on the surface of the waters"- there was water before creation. Water represents chaos. HKB'H created everything in couples/family. Not for man to go with any woman he feels like; causing chaos.

It is very recommended to eat fish on Shabbat, which represents plentiful. At the end of days, according to the Zohar, people will look for fish and will not find any. A Jew without Torah is like fish outside water - dry and dead. It is possible that externally a person will live but internally, he will dead.

At the end of days, HKB'H will decide what to do with the non-Jews; if to judge them favorably or destroy them based on calculations of history. This is the reason, Am Israel is punished a little at a time, not to overwhelm us.

The Geula (redemption) will be in phases. Very soon Eliyahu HaNavi Zachur La'Tov will come and all will know, without a doubt, it's him. Right afterwards, Moshiach ben David will arrive and it will be forever. Moshiach Ben Yosef did not survive and died. Moshiach ben David will spill some kind of rain dew on his bones and MBY will resurrect. Someone who is blind or handicap, and elders will resurrect and be young and healthy. All this can happen very soon.

Scientists already see that the hole in the Ozone layer has increased and glaciers are melting. Most of the world will be flooded and Eretz Israel will float.

He spoke about Avraham Avinu zs'l; he was so merciful and asked HaShem to find merit for the wicked nation of Sodom. He was always searching for the good of the people. That is why he was placed in hard and cruel tests such as sacrificing his only son. These cruel tests are given to good people. The sun went out of its pouch the same day the Angels came to Avraham Avinu (the 3rd day of his brit milah) and he ran to them and received the good news that he'll have a son. Avraham Avinu's words were very effective, also when he said "לו ישמעאל יחיה לפניך - If only Ishmael's life might be Your care!" in the merit of the brit, they succeed today. The Rav said that HKB'H regrets that Ishmael was brought into the world and brings so much trouble to Israel.

Yishmael will confesses and will want to do Teshuva on the day HKB'H will remove the sun from its pouch. It will not be a physical sun but in reality, a tremendous light from HaShem. Whomever will have the right tools to absorb HaShem's enormous light will heal from it. The wicked will not be able to survive it.

Every Shabbat that we observe, it helps us for the near future to absorb and to become easily accustomed to the great Light of HaShem that will be. The Rav also spoke about suffering and said that HKB'H does not give a person a test he will fail. Each test a person receives is custom made for the person with the human strength to withstand it. Likewise, prayer needs to come from the inner room of the heart and not superficial. Each person that wants it and works for it, will receive it. You must believe in yourself that it's possible.

In the future, Gehenom (hell) will burn down, except for the 7th lowest "section". The neshamot in the 7th section can never have repair and will stay there forever. How long is a life span of a person? 60, 70 years? It passes in a blink of an eye. What is important is Olam Haba and its eternity. Each individual builds, thru Mitzvot, his Olam Haba, which was created on the 7th day of creation.

Parshat Noach Nov. 2/06 - Personal Conversation

I merited to meet HaRav Shimon Dahan Shlita a few times for personal matters. I also spoke with him about the current situation in Israel and these are some of the things he said:
Last year, 5766 was meant to be the year Moshiach would have been revealed, it was the year of Time of Will שנת עת רצון (as the Zohar HaKadosh says about the year '66). This is the reason everyone spoke so much about Moshiach and the final redemption last year, including Rabbanim, Admorim, etc. We missed this opportunity. Everytime there is a Time of Will and it is not implemented, instead comes calamity as Lebanon War II. There were other Times of Will and instead, trouble came.

In regards to the current year, 5767, he said that in general it should be a good year (I didn't ask about what will happen if the Parade, c'v, will take place. I am hoping both the parade and decree will be cancelled).

He said the following year, 5758, will be the year of universal wars. The evidence is that we are in the 6th year of Shmita, (A seven-year cycle during which land in Israel must lie fallow and debts are canceled) and as the Gemara says, "in the sixth voice בששית קולות "; it is speaking about this year. What it means is this is the year that threats are being voiced and heard in all parts of the world, and it's all in preparation to the seventh year - the year of the Shmita, as the Gemara says "in the seventh, wars בשביעית מלחמות".

I understood from Rav Dahan that the wars will be in the world and in Eretz Israel and the way he described it, it's not going to be easy. Of course, our actions can reverse all bad decrees.

And then the Gemara says, "point of departure of the seventh, meaning 5769, Ben David arrives, and Moshiach is revealed.

In fact, we are returning to the original date the Rav said when reports from his shiur were transcribed in the LeDavid forum. At some point though, he changed his mind after the Hillula of Rashbi, zs'l, and there was a good probability that Moshiach would arrive 5766. But, as we see, we have not merited the redemption.

I asked him if 5769 is the last era for Moshiach's arrival and he said that he's almost positive this is the last one. Let's hope we don't have to wait till then...
יהי רצון שהשם יגאל אותנו במהרה אמן

Parshat Bereshit 29 Tishrei/Oct. 21 '06

The Rav said that learning Torah for pleasure is forbidden. It is allowed to have pleasure in discvering something new in the Torah. The Torah was intended to give life (יחי), and not for pleasure (entertainment).

The Rav spoke about Adam HaRishon zs'l who was like a Lord and the angels bowed down and served him. Adam had an internal light inside him. This inner light turned to external light; and their eyes were opened. The light turned into skin (האור הפך לעור), and they wore leather.
The sin is in the physcical body and not in the soul, the body is external and the soul is internal and remains pure. If c'v a Jew eats forbidden meat, it's possible that his physical body is enjoying it, but is it possible that the soul is enjoying it?

The Rav criticized the USA harshly. Among the things he said is if they (USA) truly wanted to make peace in the Middle East, they could have done it and it would have taken less than a day's work. But the ongoing war situation pours billions into their pockets in weapon sales. Additionally, the Rav places the responsibility of intermarriage between Jews and non-Jews of over a million Jews since the Holocaust on America. In the end, America will disappear.

Ahmadinejad is barking, we should not treat his "barks" with scorn. When he is "barking", it is HaShem warning us, thru him. If we don't heed to the warning now that is coming directly from HaShem, it will be much worse.

A day will come and the Gates of Tshuva will be shut down and thereafter, the people will not be accepted by HaShem. Even if the people will be so desperate to do Teshuva, they will even walk with the old, all bent down, the Gates of Teshuva will not open for them. The time to do Teshuva is NOW. People are mistaken and think that there are a few years left till Iran will shoot nuclear weapons. They do not realize that North Korea did their nuclear testings to give Iran the push and courage. Therefore, there is no doubt that the time do do Teshuva is now.

In the End of Days, HaShem will ask who kept His Torah. The kingdom of Edom will gather and say that they build bath houses and roads for Am Israel so they can continue to keep His Torah; but they will get proof that they build it only for themselves and not for Am Israel. Then the Persians (Iranians) will come and they too will be turned away emptyhanded. These 2 nations will come forward first because they are connected to the destruction and rebuilding of the Bet HaMikdash (Holy Temple).

Hordus did not build the Bet HaMikdash, he just renovated it externally. In the End of Days, the Bet HaMikdash will widen till Damascus (capital of Lebanon). Hordus הורדוס in gematria is Syria סוריה and Russia רוסיה. And they too will also be tied into this matter. Damascus is connected to the Bet HaMikdash.

We should not degrade the strength of the Creator of the World. In a minute, He can destroy His world. It says in a different Parsha, Noach, that an angel called קץ (end) Ketz came to Noach and told him "This is it, the land has filled with sins". As it says "קץ כל בשר בא לפני", "The end of all flesh is come before Me". The Rav hinted that now is also the time of "end of all flesh". The Rav said that if we dismantle this phrase, it can be understood that all is pointing to the time of NOW.

We should merit salvation and comforts, mercy and revealed miracles
.שנזכה לישועות ונחמות טובות, ולרחמים ולנסים גלויים

Parshat Ki Tavo Elul 16/Sept. 9 '06

Harav Dahan Shlita said the following this past shabat:
He spoke about the holy names of HaShem (it's not good to say any of Hashem's name in the beach, bathroom, etc.). The Sefer Torah is written with Kavanot and if it's written by a goy, it has to go to Gneiza (burial). If it's written by a Jew but Apikores (rebels against Hashem) the Sefer Torah needs to be burned and this is the Halacha for each parchment (mezuza, etc.)
To bring light (luck) into a person, the letters YKVK, Neshama is in the middle of the name.

Each person has a hidden Neshama. It was part of the Creator until it is removed - Hashem says to the Neshama, every nite when the "owner" sleeps, leave the physical and come back to the spiritual world.
The neshama by a wicked person desperately waits for the wicked to go to sleep, to free herself from him. It is during this time, the angels of destructions can beat her and that explains why a person wakes up tired and he needs right away to do Netila (wash his hands) to remove the impurity. When washing the hands, thinking about Hashem cleans (purifies) the neshama. The neshama cannot come to HKB'H impure.

On Rosh Hashana it says and there will be light - in the Zohar, Rashbi zs'l says that There will be is word of pain - large groups of angels come to HKB'H and asks Hashem not to reveal to the Jews becuz of the bad odor of sins and they cannot stand it. The angels want to choke the person for sinning (that's why some people feel they are choked).

Every R'H, the prosecuter wants to destroy the world. A few years ago the world was almost destructed - something to do with Har Habait. Some people went up not in its right time.
The Rav said that we do not realize Hashem's way and Hashem is King of Revenge, 1/3 of the world will be erased.

The Rav warned that all sorts of people are doing Kabbala. This forces the angels to do against Hashem's will and therefore, and it can make much pain to the person who is doing it and to whom it's done. It's preferable to pray from deep within, and what you ask for will come from the Will of Hashem and not forced by the Angels and cause much pain.

Parshat Ki Tizse Elul 9/Sep 3 '06

This past Shabbat, Rav Dahan Shlita said the following: It says in the Parsha תשים לך מלך, this is the Moshiach. The Moshiach is afraid to speak. Like Moshe Rabbeinu was afraid that he will not be understood and was afraid that Am Israel will twist his words. A few times the Moshiach postponed his arrival. Dovid HaMelech was also afraid to talk. Many of Am Israel were scared of him and wanted to kill him. Most of his talks were with HaShem, such as the Tehillim. Shlomo HaMelech also spoke very minimal and his popularity grew because of his wisdom.

It's better not to talk to much. When a person doesn't speak much, they don't know if you are smart or not.

He spoke about the Israel Gov't - The Israeli President and Minister of Justice (both are under indictment or threat of right now in Israel). If they would have been careful with Yichud (the mitzvah of not being in private with a member of the opposite gender), they would not have been in such a mess now, even if they are innocent. He said that this is exactly the Parsha - Shoftim and the whole country is busy with judging and courts.

The Rav said that our generation's troubles come from judges and police force that are not worthy.

He said that lately, in Achmajihad's generation, the tests are fear. It is a kind of a punishment, such as fear of elevators, germs, heights, bombs, etc. A person who fears HaShem, has no fear of "things".

He said that 1/3 will flee the country (Israel) - about 2 million. In the Zohar it says that many dig tunnels/funnels.

What is protection? There are "lights" that surrounds a person with protection, Mikveh; Tfillin, Shabbat, Succot. These lights protect the person from falling into various situations of trouble. He brought an example of during the war, a family in Tzfat and a missile was heading directly towards their home. Somehow, the missile did a weird turn, not physically logical, and hit the neighbor's home.

HaShem is bringing the nations to Lebanon. HaKodesh Baruch Hu (the Holy One, Blessed Be He) wants that all the nations should see the miracles. Something gigantic will happen and everyone will see. : והתגדלתי והתקדשתי לעיני גויים רבים

This is the month of Elul - mercy and forgiveness. It is a time to speak with HaShem directly. Other times, the angels delay but now in Elul, they cannot. It is a time to ask HaShem for forgiveness for all sins and HKB'H will say "You are forgiven".

Parshat Tazria Iyar/May 1 '06

The Rav spoke about the 4 generations that sinned:
1. The Mabul generation (sinned in theft),
2. The generation that built the tower against HaShem (rebellious).
3. The generation of Sdom and Amora (they judged wickedly),
4. The Mitzraim (Egypt) generation (lack of faith). The tikkunim were done for as follows:

Avraham Avinu (avoda zara),
Yitzchak Avinu (murder),
Yaakov Avinu (incest)
Moshe Rabbenu (lack of faith).

In our generation, we have a mixure of all these 4 generations - warped judgment, deceiving lawyers, etc.

Parshat Mishpatim SHEVAT/Feb. 27 '06

First the Rav repeated things that he said in the past about Jerusalem. My source missed some of the things, but he heard the Rav saying that there will be a certain stage where the Christians will decide that Jerusalem belongs only to them (I think that this means that Jerusalem will be under the rule of the UN, and not under Palestinian rule, but this is just my thought), and those who will not agree will be the Moslems, and this will cause confrontations between Moslems and Christians that will eventually drag both sides (Christians and Moslems) to a war between them. The Rav emphasized that the Jews will not be involved in this war.

Afterwards the Rav said that the final Berur (purification?) is getting closer, and he said that this Berur will be a hard one, and that it is a Berur to the whole people of Israel, no matter if we're talking on the most secular Jew inthe world, or on the most Charedi Jew. The Rav said that the major Berur will be through a hard Nisayon (test) in faith. He tried to conclude the subject and go further, but the audience tried in any way to push him to get more info, and this is more or less what they could get from him:

(a) The Berur's duration will be 72 hours.
(b) The Nisayon will be based on choice: are we choosing HaShem or not.
(c) The Rav hinted that there will be something in the sky, and he was very unclear about what exactly this will be. My source understood that this is something like a plane or an angel (he thought it reminds of what the Rav said once about the Malachim), and there will be something like a lethal bomb threatening ch"v to blow on us. These were only hints, not more than that.

The audience asked more details about the exact type of the Berur that will be, and about the kind of Nisayon that he's talking about, and the Rav again talked with unclear terms and hard to understand hints. He gave them 2 answers:

(1) He said that it's known (it wasn't known to me) that Rav Bnayahu said in the past that we should be prepared to deliver our soul and die on Kiddush HaShem,
(2) He said that the test in something similar to something that may happen if we see in our eyes as if not only that HaShem is not choosing us, and not with us, but He is actually choosing others, and helps them clearly, and the question is whether we will continue to believe in Him and in the Torah after such a situation that may hapeen. Again, only hints and nothing clear.

The Rav concluded the lesson by saying that in the help of HaShem we're going to enter the month of Adar this week, and this is a month that we should expect in it that actually every day the Geulah

Parshat Beshalach SHEVAT/Feb. 13 '06

According to my source, the Rav almost didn't talk about the subject today, although the audience did try to make him talk about it, but with no success. They asked him, for example, what does he say about the nuclear Iranian threat, so he answered "I hope it'll stay only a threat" and didn't agree to get into the whole matter.

A part of the lesson he also talked about Rav Kaduri, but didn't repeat again the things that he said in the last times about meeting Moshiach. When he talked about Rav Kaduri, he said that he was showed the meeting of Rav Kaduri with the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and he quoted parts of what the Rebbe said about Rav Kaduri. I asked my source whether it seemed that he means that the Lubavitcher is the Moshiach that the Rav said previously that Rav Kaduri met, but my source said that he didn't think that this was the intention at all.

The only "new" thing was that the Rav said the the secret of the end of Yishmael is being revealed now in the riots of the Moslems because of Mohamed cartoons abroad. He said that the word cartoon in Hebrew (קריקטורה) can be read "Keri - Ktura" and Ktura is of course Hagar who was the mother of Yishmael, and the word "Keri" (I don't know how to translate this to English, sorry) is actually the secret of the end of Yishmael. He didn't elaborate further, but according to my source the Rav said that it's a very important thing.

Parshat Bo 6 SHVAT/Feb 4 '06

The Rav said in the begining in general that we see now that everything becomes more extreme in the religious direction, and we see how the Moslems and the Xtians become more and more extreme in controversies on their religions, and this will go on, and also with us will be sort of a similar process. In the end this will end in the controversy of everyone on Temple Mount.

Later he said something that neither my source nor I understood, but he said to the people in the synagogue that this is a sort of a sign that shows very much how the redemption is very close, and he got this idea with סיעתא דשמיא in the first meal of Shabbos, and everyone expected to see what he's gonna say, but it seems no one did understand: He said something like that, he mentioned the four leaders that he talked about 2 weeks that they are the initials of Moshiach, and then explained how many sons each left behind him (my source doesn't remember exactly, but he thinks it's between 0 to 2) and he said that this is a huge sign that the redemption is close, and as if everyone needed to understand what he said, and although it seems that he saw that no one understood too much, he didn't explain (he said something unclear about Moshe and his sons, but my source didn't understand the connection).

In the end, after he said thing in memory of Rav Kaduri, he repeated the same things that he said last week that Rav Kaudri said, but this time someone in the audience did ask him if this was a material meeting or something spiritual that Rav Kaduri had with Moshiach, so the Rav answered unambiguously that it was a material (Gashmi) meeting and not spiritual.

Parshat Va'era 28 TEVET/Jan. 30 '06

According to my source, the Rav said in the lesson the following things:

In an answer to the question how come Rav Kaduri and Sharon both were hospitalized almost in the same time, the Rav said that there are still more leaders that are related to the people of Israel, and also from withing the people of Israel that will die, and he explained this that this will be a cause for a cry from all the Jewish population types for leadership, for a head. My source thinks that maybe the Rav clued with this the departure of Rav Kaduri, but he didn't understand it this way in it's time (and also he doesn't think that others understood it this way, and not sure this is what the Rav meant, but maybe), but in any case the Rav talked on more leaders, Jewish and Goyim that will die, and according to what my source understood, this isn't only about political or religious leaders.

The Rav read the prophecy in the Zohar of the weekly portion (Va'era) that relates to Jerusalem, and said that it's written there that Edom will not be able to rule in Eretz Yisrael, and said that Edom, which means the xtians, will want to rule, but the Yishamaelites wpn't let them, and the reason that the xtians won't rule is because they don't have a part in the Mitzva of Brit Mila.

The Rav said that the Yishmaelites are doing everything to stall the coming of Moshiach Tzidkenu.

In this matter, the Rav also spoke in the lesson about the rising of Hamas in the territories, and he explained it this way: he said that after Hagar got pregnanat from Avraham Avinu, then Sara Imenu that was a great prophet, it's written that she told him: "חמסי עליך". What was that Sara Imenu saw in her Ruach HaKodesh was that Yishmael will come from Hagar, and that he will be very bad to the Jews, but she knew that Avraham Avinu won't think this way, but even he will pray to HaShem for Yishmael. This is the reason that Sara told Avraham Avinu "חמסי עליך", because she saw what's going to happen with the Hamas. Eventually, as known, Avraham listened to Sara and expelled Yishmael. The Rav said that Sara showed Avraham Avinu the Hamas, and only then did Avraham Avinu expelled Yishmael.

Because of this, the Rav explained that only Avraham Avinu is the one that can expell the Yishmaelites. He said that he knows very well the Arabs in Hevron, the Hamas guys, and said that they are very very wicked. The Rav said that from the market of Hevron the fire of HaShem will go out (according to my source, he didn't mean something Gashmi), a fire of love to HaShem. The Rav explained that there are many Jews that are true lovers of HaShem, Kana'im to HaShem, in a level that they are ready to hand over their soul for Kidush HaShem. He said that until now we don't actually see who are these true lovers of HaShem, but soon we will see them in Hevron, when they will do a spiritual and material war against Hamas, which is just some kind of HaShem war, and Davka in this way they will waken Avraham Avinu that is buried in Hevron, and then when Avraham Avinu will see the Hamas - he will be the one to expell Yishmael!

The Rav said that we are already in the 90th minute, or even maybe after the 90th minute for the revelation of Moshiach, and Mamash in every minute we may hear the "end whistle" (it seems to my source that he meant the Shofar of Moshiach), but until this happens - the rest of the things continue to roll, as he said in the past:

The Rav said that although on one hand Moshiach Tzidkenu can be revealed in every moment, on the other hand he explained that we are entering a very hard period until the coming of Moshiach, and that we need to fasten our seat belts very well, because we're going to drive very fast, and according to what he feels, many things are going to happen soon.

The Rav said that until the end of the month of Adar (my source is not sure whether he said Adar or Chag Purim) we're going to be in an absolutely different situation.

The Rav also said during the lesson that he has a source that is very close to Rav Kaduri (my source says that the Rav tried to explain that this is a very credible source) that told him that Rav Kaduri told before he went to the hospital, that he met with the Moshiach (my source said that it wasn't understandable whether this is a spiritual or material meeting), and that Rav Kaduri asked all the Mekubalim to search the Moshiach ("they know how") and then to make him king. My source got the impression that it's something close.

The Rav said that we must keep our faith, a simple faith in HaShem, and keep every achievment that we managed to get until now in Avodat HaShem. The Rav said that we are about to enter a very confusing period of time, and he gave an example that there might be a possibility that they will tell us that it's ok not to keep Shabat, and we mustn't believe such things, but he didn't elaborate any further.

The Rav said a sentence like that: we will strengthen in Avodat HaShem, and then no atom bomb will be able to hit us.

The Rav mentioned the opinion that the Gog and Magog war began actually in Afghanistan, and said that in the name Afghanistan there's a clue that the Satan is demonstrating (מפגין) his force. He also said that in the name Pakistan there's a clue for Satan - monkey (קוף), and said that it's known thatthe secret of the Satan is monkey (or something like that). The Rav said that Bin Laden was the begining of the demonstration of force of the Satan, but the leader of Iran and the Iranians that are the most fanatics in their religion are the true Satans.

Parshat Shemot 21 Tevet /Jan. 22 '06

According to my source, the Rav talked today part of the lesson on Rav Kaduri. He said that he has been checking and following Rav Kaduri many years, and he really studied the issue, and the conclusion that he got is that the secret of Rav Kaduri is the secret of Rabi Akiva.

The Rav talked about the current situation of Rav Kaduri now in hospital and said that what Rav Kaduri did is Aliyat Neshama (elevation of the soul), and he is in a situation of Aliyat Neshama that will take much longer. Apparantly he said he knows how much time it's going to take, but he didn't want to say - he said he's afraid to say how much longer will this Aliyat Neshama take.

The Rav said that now that Rav Kaduri is in this kind of situation, then what happens is that the people of Israel stays now without any leadership at all, because the situation is that we have no political leadership, and according to what he says now we also don't have religious leadership - and he explained what he meant, and cleared that he doesn't mean that without Rav Kaduri we don't have Gdolim and giants in Torah, but what he means is something like that:

He said that it's written by our sages that in every generation there are 4 special Zkenim (probably special leaders, according to what I understood from my source), and in our genertation these are the 4 tzadikim that belong to us: the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rav Shach, Baba Sali, and of course Rav Kaduri Shlit"a.

The Rav said that each of these tzadikim belongs to another field, which is what he represents. The Lubavitcher Rebbe represents the Torah of the Chassidut. Rav Shach represents the oral Torah. Baba Sali represents prayer. And Rav Kaduri Shlit"a represents the Torah of Kabbalah.

He said that these 4 tzadikim are in the initials of Moshiach. The Lubavitcher Rebbe is the letter Mem, which is the first letter of his first name (Menachem). Rav Shach is Shin. Baba Sali's name is Rav Yisrael Abuchatzira, and this is the letter Yod of Yisrael. And Rav Kaduri - the Rav said that Kaduri is not the real name, but a Shibush. His real name begins actually in Chet refuyah and is: Chduri, only that when in Israel the authorities written this as Kaduri. So Rav Kaduri is Chet.

Then the Rav said that because now we're in a situation without these 4 leaders, then it's like we don't have no political leadership nor religious leadership, because what he explained, so he said that this is exactly the right time for the coming of Melech HaMoshiach.

Two times during the lesson, the Rav stood in front of the Heicahl, and blessed Rav Kaduri in a special blessing.

Later the Rav talked about how it'll be established that Moshiach is Moshiach. So he said that when Moshiach will come, then like Moshe did signs for the elders of Israel, he will also make mircales before our sages, to prove that he's not a false Moshiach. But it's not enough. The Rav said and explained that prbably HaShem has many names, and because of this, when HaShem sent Moshe Rabenu to redeem Israel, then he asked HaShem with which name he will come to redeem Israel, and it's written that HaShem told him: "Ehye asher Ehye". Also HaShem told to Moshe Rabenu: "Pakod Pakadti" which is what Yosef told beni-Yisrael: "pakod yifkod" which was probably also a secret. The Rav said that Moshiach will slso arrive with a special name of HaShem to redeem us, and when he come he'll need to say this name, and then our sages will be able to check if this is true. How will they do this? He said that there are a few families in the people of Israel, that this secret name has been delivered to them, father to son, from generation to generation, over thousands of years, and they keep this secret very well, and all the aim of keeping this name secret is to check the Moshiach if he is ch"v fasle moshiach or if he the true Moshiach.

The Rav ended the lesson with a declearation, and said that he is certain, without any doubt, that this generation will merit to see Melech HaMoshiach and also to see the Techiyat HaMetim (resurrection of the deads), and said that "we'll see this eye in eye". The Rav said that he's saying this words with foundation and clear knowledge of him, and these are not things that are just being said because someone said one thing or another thing. And if not that he has been forbed, he would have taken a Sefer Torah and swears in it in front of all the people in the syangogue, that this generation will merit to see Melech HaMoshiach and Techiyat HaMetim!

According to my source, the people were very excited to hear this. Amen!

Parshat Veyechi 14 TEVES/Jan. 15 '06

According to my source, the Rav opened this time the lesson with determined words, and said that the matters are rolling much faster than he thought, and that the Geula is now much closer than he thought before, and that it is the ultimate Geula, and that after it there will be no more troubles to the people of Israel.

During the lesson he said that there is dangerous and harsh Din to the Goyim in the near period, and made a Mashal for the plagues of Egypt: "were like nuclear bombs", and what seemed to my source was that the Rav hinted that this is what's gonna happen in the world in the Goyim soon. One of his sayings about this was: "imagine yourselves a nuclear bomb inside the ocean, and that two weeks there are no water...". The Rav was not speaking clear on this matter, but it seemed he was hinting clearly that there will be nuclear bombs on the Goyim.

The Rav said that during the last decade, with the exception of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, there were almost no major wars in the world (relative to other periods in history), but even so - the world has proved that it cannot sustain peace. The Rav explained that spiritually when there are Zima and adultery and all kinds of To'eva in the world - this indicates that they cannot hold peace, and so this is the exact time for the people of Israel to hold peace, and only they will know to hold peace (actually, I didn't understand this part too much, but this was what I was told by my source).

In the last half hour of the lesson he spoke about how we don't have leadership in Israel, and during the things he said on this matter, he said that the time that Moshiach should come is now (it wasn't a special declearation, just something he said during the discussion). He spoke about how Moshiach is an excellent leader, 100 times better that Moshe Rabenu, and talked about all the virtues of Moshiach as a leader.

According to my source, it seemed that the Rav wanted to declare something in front of the public in the syangogue, but it seemed as if someone stopped him, not clear why, because everytime he tried to declare it, and suddenly stopped.

Almost in the last minute of the lesson, the Rav talked clearer, and said that Moshiach should arrive in every second, and within one second the situation will be changed from bad to good. He said to the audiecnece not to waste the time with Dvarim Betelim and to try as much as possible to deal in Torah and Mitzvot, so that when this second will come, they will be "caught" when they are busy with a Mitzva. He finished the lesson when he blessed the crowd that Yehi Ratzon that HaShem will "catch" everyone from the crowd in that second when he is busy in Torah and Mitzvot.

My source got the impression that he's talking on something really near, and there was also excitement in the audience. I tried to tell him that it seemed something casual, but my source told me that he just probably doesn't know how to deliver what he heard and felt when the Rav said these words. He gave the feeling that Moshiach is really really close, and as if we're not talking about something far. But my source agreed that the Rav didn't say anything explicit about a timeframe for this to happen, only gave this kind of feeling. However, my source told me that this is totally different from what the Rav used to say about it that Moshiach will come after such and such.

By the way, the issue of Sharon was not mentioned in the lesson. The Rav did not talk about this at all, and the impression was that this is already history. (if you pay attention you'll see that actually in the weekend, that the Rav said not to hear media until Sunday, we see how the media was fooling us all the week with Shawarmas and rapid movements, when now they're suddenly talking that he was actually some kind of vegetable, so even by the media itself - they lied until now).

Parshat Vayigash 7 Tevet /Jan. 8 '06

The Rav opened the lesson with the words: "we have only half a step left before the coming of Moshiach Tzidkenu and the Geula". He said he'll talk on Sharon's issue only in the end of the lesson, and he did so, he left it to a few moments in the end:

He announced unambiguously that Ariel Sharon has already passed away, and said "תהיה נשמתו צרורה בצרור החיים". In order to emphasize it, after question about the prayers that the public is being asked to pray for him, he said 3 time that he's dead: "dead - dead - dead!", and said that in the media they're just saying nonsense about this matter.

Everyone asked him where is Moshiach, because he alos said before that after Sharon Moshiach will come.

He said that his heart is really trembling form the era that we are about to enter now, and that he predicted these matters a few months ago, but he didn't know the exact timing when it will happen, and this is what he meant when he said that something would get Sharon out of the political map, as he said a few weeks ago. He said that the "era of leadership" in the people of Israel is over now, and we are now entering a new era, probably harsh, an era that he named "we don't have anyone to trust but our father in Shamayim". (they asked him: isn't Ulmert a leader? so he explained that he's talking of "leadership" and not on someone who is heading the authorities, and said that all the people that were with power of leadership, that were from the previous generation, such as Sharon and Rabin, have already passed away)

He said that within a month or 2 months, the whole people of Israel is about to enter the hardest test of faith since the creation of the world!!! He said that we must be very strong in faith of HaShem!!! He said that every single one from the people of Israel will must decide whether he goes with HaShem or not, and no one will have a choice to slip away from this decision, every single one will have to stand this Nisayon!!!

When he was asked whether he's talking about elections, he didn't answer, and it seems he totally rejected that it's the elections.

He called everyone to do Teshuva from all the heart, as much as possible, everyone according to his situation, because we must do it - and now. He said that "the gates of Teshuva are closing", and he said that he's been following this situation closely, and noticed that there are almost no new people that are actually making Teshuva, unlike what was the situation before, and said that it's very hard now to make Teshuva. He also said that exactly from the same reason, most people (also those who already made Teshuva) are staying currently in their own spiritual level, without advancing further. Soon (he didn't say how soon) - these gates will be closed completely.
He said that the Geula cannot arrive as long as the people of Israel is not making Teshuva, and if we do not decide to make Teshuva, then it's written that HaShem brings a king ch"v a wicked as Hamman etc., he said "like Hitler for example", and then he said: what. do you think there isn't Hitler today? He said that he who looks carefully can see that Iran's leader is "much worse than Hitler".

He said that we should pray a lot about this week, until the next Sunday, and we should not listen, at least at this period, to the media, because it confuses us a lot, and this week there are many confusions possible.

He mentioned again the live water that will get out from Yerushalayim, as he said last week, but this time he said, that it doesn't have to be material, but sometimes it could mean spiritual things, and maybe in this case we're talking only on spiritual things. He didn't elborate.

He talked about this week's Haftara: he said that there's a tree that is Yosef, and there's a tree that is Yehuda, and that the Moshiach is also one tree that he is Yosef as well as Yehuda, and when the following will happen then this is the secret of Moshiach: He said that when all the people of Israel will be united, like the Shevatim were united when they came to Yosef, and only when they came united they could find out the truth, that he is Yosef, then also here there'll be a similar situation where all the people of Israel will be united about what's going to happen (he didn't explain what, he was very mysterious and didn't agree to say, although the crowd pushed him very hard), and only when we will all be united, we can stand in front of Yosef.

Parshat Miketz 30 KISLEV /Jan. 1 '06

The Moslems are Metam'im the place of Beit HaMikdash with their mosques. The xtians weren't "wise" enough to take that place, so instead they put all their churches arround it, to LeTame this place as much as possible.

Tum'ah today in our generation is much worse than the Tum'ah that was in Egypt... This generation is heavily deep inside the Tum'ah.

In the first Geula, HaShem went down Himself to redeem the people of Israel, because there was such big Tum'ah, that the angels could not approach. So, Kal VaChomer that this will also be in the last Geula, where there will be a lot more Tum'ah: Although Moslems and Xtains are trying to LeTame as much as possible, but then HaShem will make in a few seconds a very powerful earthquake, that will rip all the Mount of Olives, and all the churches and mosques will be lost.

It is written that in the future pure waters will pour from Yerushalayim, a stream of water. The Rav said that actually the water are coming out already (if you remember, he already said this, and I reported this a few months ago). The Rav went a few times to pray in the Beit Knesset in the Kotel, and he managed to see from the inside how pure water are pouring from the Kotel. Once he prayed there and saw that there is really a lot of water, and it created something like a small "stream", but the Moslems are taking care of closing this all the time. In the Geula a river of water will flow from there, and these waters will be like the water of Be'er Miryam. People will drink from it, and will be cured even from the most awful diseases only by drinking one cup from these water! Someone asked "what? the Arabs will drink these water and get cured?", and the Rav laughed and said: "don't worry, these are things that HaShem makes only for the people of Israel"...

Parshat Va'Yishlach KISLEV/Dec 17. '05

This is the latest update from Shabat's lesson that I got from my source (there was no mention of Sharon this time):

1. The end of שעבוד מלכויות is one of the signs before the Moshiach's period. This has ended a few years ago when the Aliyah from Russia began, together with Aliyah from Syria (in Hebrew Russia and Syria are the same letters).

2. All the בירורים that needed to be finished before Moshiach were finished, except for a holy ניצוץ of Israel that is captured by impurity of the far east (mentioned specifically the Thai people), and this is the last Berur that needs to be finished. This is the reason that many people of the far east (specifically Thai people) are working now in Israel, so that this Berur would be faster, and this is the reason that we see them learning Hebrew very fast, and interfering with Jews in many ways (My source also told me that the Rav mentioned the far east impurity many times over the past months, talking about the very strong Tuma'a in the far east, and how every Jew that merely touches the grounds there, gets captured by Tuma'a in a way that is almost impossible to get back).

3. The holy Menorah that was made by Moshe Rabenu in the desert (not the one by Shlomo HaMelech) is hidden under the mount of olives (Har HaZeitim), and this is the true reason that it is called mount of olives, because of the Menorah that was lit with olive oil, and because some prophecy pictured the Menorah with olive branches. The Menorah will be revealed when the mountain will break in the earthquake that's described in the prophecies.

Parshat Ve'Yetze KISLEV 2/Dec. 12 '05

According to my source, although the Rav concentrated in the lesson on the Gemmorah that talks about Moshiach's time, he did not give much more detail, only commentaries, except one very interesting detail: a special sign that he gave in order for us to know when Moshiach is really about to be revealed. These are more or less the important details that he said:

He talked about Masechet Sanhedrin where it talks about the gate that falls and rebuilt a few times and so on, and before it will be rebuilt the last time Moshiach will come. He said that this is not the gate of Rome, it's Jerusalem, but he didn't explained exactly what it is.

Before that, when he talked about the story of Rabbi Yehosuah talking with Moshiach, he said that he checked the meaning deeply, and what's talked about there as the gate of Rome is not a material place, only a spiritual place (probably he meant that this does not imply the Gashmi placement where Moshiach will be revealed from, because I heard commentaries that say that he will come from Rome).

About "today if you'll hear his voice" (היום אם בקולו תשמעו), he said that this will happen close to the Geula, and that it's not only the matter of returning in Teshuva, but there will be a situation in which HaShem will pass to us a crying voice from Him כביכול, and we will hear the voice but our soul won't go away this time contrary to what was in Mt Sinay, because this time we have between us many barriers (מחיצות) and concealments. According to my source he did not explain more.

But the most important thing, was the sign that he said will show us that Moshiach is Mamash about to be revealed. He said that in a certain stage, in New York the statue of liberty will be destroyed (he didn't explain how this will happen, terrorism or something else), and then we would know that Moshiach is Mamash Techef will be revealed. But he didn't even imply how this will happen.

The rest of the things he already said before, or they are well known.

Parshat Chayyei Sara Cheshvan/NOVEMBER 26 '05

Accroding to my source, the Rav talked today in the lesson mainly on the bad judicial system in Israel, but there were some other things he said:

About the elections, he was asked many question about this. He mentioned again (I didn't understand why) what he said 2 weeks ago (to pray and read Tehilim) and said that he was misunderstood, and that he didn't mean that there's supposed to be a disaster, like people thought. He only said that it was a time of will to the cancelation of the elections, and said about it: "and he who has understading, will understand" (Vehamevin Yavin).

In general he said that it's still very early to talk about what will happen in the elections, but he said a few things and I'm passing what was passed to me (personally I'm not sure if we should see these words about the elections as predictions): he said that eventually this will be the choice of the people. The choice whether to choose Torah. It's similar to "מי לה' אלי" (not clear if he meant the Shas party slogan which is the same). He said that with HaShem's help these elections will be the end of "Malchut Hazala" that Mezalzelet (degrades?) Talmidey Chachamim, and that the Torah will go up. He was asked many other questions but he repeated that it's too early to talk about it.

About the thing that he said that will return all of Yisrael in Tshuva, he said this time that this will be a short threat of something that will threat Israel (or maybe the whole world), but he said in the name of the Gaon of Vilna that this probably won't take a lot of time, maybe about half an hour. But eventually, because of this threat, all of Yisrael will make Tshuva.

He mentioned Yerushalayim and said that since the time when Rabin ("he who was murdered") signed on the return of Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim is actually "captive". He didn't elaborate.

Afterwards, in the context of the lesson's subject, he said that Rav Nachmani gave him personally a special sign to know when Moshiach is about to come. Rav Nachmani told him that when the judges will fall from their power and won't be around anymore, this will be the last sign for the coming of Moshiach, and immediately afterwards Moshiach will come. According to my source he gave an (interesting...) example of how this may happen: for instance, that there will be a plague that only the judges will die from it, and the judges will be "gone" one after the other (I believe this is based on the Talmud).

Finally an important leftover from last week: my source also told me something that he forgot to tell me last time. About Jerusalem being internationalized, the Rav said that after the US and the UN will take the authority from Israel, the Arabs (probably the Palestinians but also the rest of the Arabs) themselves will resist forcefully and will make a lot of troubles to the Americans, and will fight against them, because they won't agree the christians will control Yerushalayim, only Moslems. The Rav said that we (the Jews) will sit from the side and won't take part in what will develop between the chrsitians and the Moslems (this is probably the war the the Zohar talks about).

Parshat Ve'Yera Cheshvan/NOV. 19 '05

I begin with an explanation about last week's update (which referred to something Rav Kaduri might have said). The Rav explained it something like this: he said that it was "known" that if Sharon will not be re-elected then Moshiach will come. He said that last week was a moment of opportunity to receive something good from shomayim that would bring about Ariel Sharon's disappearance from the political map (he didn't give specific details), and we should daven and read tehillim for it to happen because this would be a very good thing. But because in the end it turned out that Sharon remained and continued to be involved in the elections, this indicates that from Shomayim they postponed this thing.

The Rav was asked if the elections will take place, and he said that this could still change, and he can't say anything certain about it.

The statement that struck my "source" the hardest, and apparently the entire audience as well, was regarding Yerushalayim. Even though it seems to me that the things are more or less known, according to my source the way things were said was [that they will be] very hard. He said something about the Palestinians complaining that that can no longer deal with the Israelis (implying the UN needs to get involved, perhaps), and then Uncle Sam will come, which the Rav said means the samech-mem (Sa"M--the side of evil in kabbalistic terminology) who will declare that he is ready to take control of Yerushalayim for the Palestinians, and the Americans together with the UN will control Yerushalayim! These things were said in a clear way so that it should not be misunderstood: we will lose control of Yerushalayim, and control over the city will become international! He said that if this doesn't happen, then his name is not his name, meaning that he knows what he is talking about. He said that they want/will want to transform all of Eretz Yisrael to an international territory, but he didn't say that this would happen, only that they want it to happen.

He said about George W. Bush that he has a very strong Xtian faith, and that Bush is convinced we, the Jewish people, murdered his god, and this is one of the reasons that he wants so much to come against Israel.

He spoke about the war in the Middle East, and he said that Iran and Syria are the targets of America, and that the USA intends to overpower them. He said that very soon Iran will prove to the USA that America does not worry it at all. He mentioned something that wasn't completely understood by my source, relating to the nuclear reactor beginning to run and the Russians, and he said that Iran paid Russia several billion in order that Russia should do the work for them. When this is completed, Iran will begin to rise against America in a clear way (apparently this is what will begin the war there). He said that this will take some time, and he thinks that this will happen in a matter of months, certainly by the end of the year.

The Rav mentioned during the shiur things that were said by Rav Nachmani, ztzvk"l in the past about Seoul (capital of South Korea), and he said about Korea (referring, apparently to the North) "from there will come the evil" [see Yermiyahu 1:14: mitsafon tipatach hara'ah al kol-yoshvey ha'arets; "Evil will come from the north upon all the inhabitants of the land"]. He said that in Korea they are like Nazis who hate the Americans, and he said that Rav Nachmani stated that there will be a great war there, and he mentioned the nuclear reactor that is there. He said that this will be the last war (didn't understand the distinction between "evil will come" and "the last war", but this is what I was told).

He said that the world is immersed now in a state of very hard judgements, so hard that it is imposible to grasp intellectually what stands to happen next.

Afterwards, he spoke about tshuva and its relation to the geulah. He said that the entire Jewish people (kol am Yisrael kulo) will do tshuva before Moshiach comes. He tried to explain how this will happen, and he said that when Yisrael lift their eyes to their father in heaven, then truly in a single moment a wicked person can turn into a tzaddik, even only a thought and a "turning" towards Hakadosh Baruch Hu. He gave as an example a man on a plane, and a big fire breaks out on the plane and there aren't any parachutes on the plane, this man has nothing left to do but lift his head to heaven and cry out to the Creator of the world.

He said that this is more or less what will be, and the entire Jewish people will cry out to the Creator of the world. He mentioned the incident with Moshe Rabbeinu and the copper snake [see Parshas Chukas], the purpose of which was that everyone should lift their eyes to heaven. He said that there will be something that will bring everyone to truly lift their eyes to heaven, and he said that everyone will see something flying (and because of this they will look towards the heavens), and then everyone will call to the Creator of the World. Apparently, he intended to give details, but someone asked if this was referring to the Bird Flu, and he changed subjects. [Daniel said it reminded him of this post from Eli about flying objects in the sky]

He said about the Bird Flu that this is not such a simple thing, and it stands to be something very difficult, but he didn't go into it very much, except that this time he said that this could come to Israel (although several weeks ago he said that it would come to Israel but that the mekubalim know how to protect against it, so perhaps he means that it will affect birds in Israel, or perhaps goyim, but I didn't hear that he retracted his earlier statements).

He also mentioned the matter of the soul of Moshiach which was mitaberes ("implanted" or "born"). He said that the nehsoma of Moshiach has been in existance now for quite some time compared to the body of the Moshiach which is relatively new. As he said in the past, the neshoma entered in the state of a baby, and it will grow. He repeated that the Moshiach still doesn't know that he's Moshiach but this time he explained when he will know that he is Moshiach. He said that at a certain phase in the growth of the neshoma, haKadosh Baruch Hu will reveal Himself to him and inform him of these things, and he said that this will be similar to the way that haKadosh Baruch Hu revealed Himself to Moshe Rabbeinu.

Parshat Noach Cheshvan NOV. 5 '05

The Rav asked today forgiveness from all the people in the synagogue. He said that he is sorry, but it might turn that the things that he said in the name of Rav Kaduri are not correct. He said that there are some who say that Rav Kaduri said it, and some who say that he didn't. He was asked whether this is because what was in the internet, and he answered that he knows what happened in the internet, but this was not the reason. He explained that the things that he said before were based on things that Rav Kaduri said, because he accepts all the thing that Rav Kaduri says as true. Then he said that throughout the generations there were Tzadikim that were wrong about the time when Moshiach comes. He said that the one that will tell us about Moshiach will be Eliyahu Hanavi.

The feeling in the syangogue was that we won't hear from him more about the Geulah.

In another opportunity he said something general, that it will be hard for us to accept Moshiach because we won't understand him or his actions.

Some leftovers I forgot from last week: He said last week that the Algavish stones that are to fall on Gog and Magog are meteors.

This was the update. My source was sure that the reason that the Rav talks about mistakes with Moshiach, and that Eliyahu Hanavi will tell us, is because he was ordered to stop talking about it from Shamayim. On the other hand, I think that because the Rav said himself that he knows what was in the internet, then he knows also the things that were published in his name. I think that he understood that these prophecies of his are taken to the internet, so he decided to stop them completely, and that was the excuse. A Kabbalistic Rav in the level of this Rav won't say to the whole public in the syangogue that he is ready to swear with Sefer Torah in front of the Heichal that the Moshiach is among us already, if he does not have his own information (besides he gave then a description of who will be Moshiach as if he knows who he is). He himself said once that they talked with him from Shamayim about unity. I think he just decided to finish these prophecies because it's not staying within a small crowd anymore, exactly as I was afraid in the begining.

Parshat Bereshit Tishrei 2/OCT. 29 '05

According to my source, the Rav mentioned today (26 Tishrei) a few things:

The first: it thing seems that today he knows much more about Moshiach. He already said some time ago that everything Rav Kaduri said is true, including that the idea that Moshiach is to be found among us is true. But today he said this with a lot of confidence, and he added that he is ready to swear (on the fact that true Moshiach is found among us) on a sefer Torah in front of the aron kodesh. Apparently, according to how it seems to me, he wants to remove the doubts from the remaining skeptics.

After this he spoke about who is Moshiach. He said that he bases himself on the Ramchal, so it is impossible to know if this is from his own personal knowledge (despite what I said, that according to what I was told he appeared much more "knowing" this week). He said that the Moshiach is someone who in the past didn't keep Torah and Mitzvos; not only this, but he descended in his sins to be connected to tuma (impurity) in a way that is out of the ordinary, to deep klipos. But since then he began to do tshuva, and he succeeded to come out of all the klipos and tuma, and today he has arrived to an elevated level of kedusha.

At another point in the lecture, he "stumbled" into a saying of chazal about "Merodach Beladen ben Beladen" (according to what I understood from my source, this is related to Sanhedrin 96). He said explicitly that Bin Laden of today is a gilgul of the same Beladen (the same "dog", in his words). and he explained to the audience that Bin Laden today is hidden, but he will soon be revealed. He explained that Bin Laden has an incredibly demonic mind, with terribly demonic plans. He said that soon (my source felt that this means very soon) he will begin his activities in the world, such as have never been seen and it is hard to imagine them. A great and terrible fear will will fall on the whole world, including on Israel, and the demonic plans will continue [timshichna -- not sure how to translate]. These activities will be so demonic and the terror on Israel will be so hard and fearful that, according to the words of the Rav, all of Israel will lift their eyes to their father in heaven in the wake of these activities, and this will bring us to sufficient Tshuva that Moshiach will be able to be revealed.

He attempted to return to the subject, but a member of the audience asked a question on another subject and the discussion went off on a tangent. But according to my source, it seemed to him that he mentioned something with Bin Laden and the hard klipa of Paras (Persia/Iran), and he tried to start to talk about this afterwards, that it seems to him that Bin Laden is hiding in Iran. (See this link from the Hebrew LeDavid forum, in particular the following: "It will seem that the time has come for Moshiach, but he is still suffering, and there is only to wait until the Romans (the West) conquer the Persians (Iran).

Succot Tishrei 19/OCT. 23 '05

The Rav mentioned several things in his last shiur.

In the beginning, they asked him about the bird flu. He answered that the bird flu is related to what it states in the gemara "[Moshiach] ben Dovid will not come until a fish will be sought for the sick and it won't be found" (Sanhedrin 98a)". He explained (but my source didn't understand the explanation, all the more so for me) something like according to the kabbalah the spiritual source of birds is opposite to the spiritual source of fish (neither me nor my source studied kabbalah, so we aren't sure about this explanation). Afterwards, he somehow conneved this to the sefira of Yesod and explained that the disease itself will be connected with "p'gam habrit" (wasteful emission of seed, relations with gentile women, etc.), and it will only be able to affect those who are connected to "p'gam habrit". The Rav also said that the tsunami and the hurricane in New Orleans also came for this reason.

He continued and explained that he doesn't know if this particular disease (bird flu) is the disease in question; if not, there will be another disease coming after it. The disease is supposed to be the same plague that is mentioned at the end of the book of Zecharia, and the sign for this will be that the plague will affect the eyes ("And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the nations...his eyes will waste away in their sockets...", Zecharia 14:12). Then we will know if we are talking about this same disease of not. He was asked if the disease will arrive in Israel, and he answered that in Israel the kabbalists know the Holy Names and the Kavanos in order to generate protection from this plague, thus in Eretz Yisrael there shouldn't be a real danger, if any at all (and it seemed from his words that there won't be any danger at all).

In the course of the lecture he spoke about some news he has to report to those who came to shul, and he will leave it for the end of the lecture. In the end, it turned out that everyone had already heard the news, but at least he validated it: he received a phone call the previous week from the Yeshiva of the elder kabbalist, Rav Kaduri, shlita, and they told him more or less what was reported concerning what occurred with Rav Kaduri over Yom Kippur (see this thread). That Rav Kaduri entered into deep contemplation for a long period of time, and after this he smiled a broad smile and said that the soul of Moshiach had entered a Jew on Yom Kippur. The Rav was surprised to see that part of the audience in the shul had already seen it on the internet...

The Rav continued and explained what Rav Kaduri said. He explained that the soul of Moshiach that entered is at present a baby. They asked him if this meant that the Moshiach is now a baby, and he said no. The Moshiach could be, according to his words, between age 12 and 80, although the soul that entered is a baby (I [Daniel] hope that I am being exact), and he still needs to grow to a child, a young man, etc. Then they asked him how much time it will take the soul of Moshiach to grow up, like a regular person? He answered that this process can be very quick.

He also explained that this person who received the soul of Moshiach still doesn't know and doesn't have any idea that he is Moshiach!

Parshat Haazinu Tishrei 12 /OCT. 15 '05

According to my source, the Rav said today in the lesson that HaShem's way with the great Son'ey Yisrael before Israel having Geula, is to give them more and more a feeling of superiority, until they felt themselves elevated to a level of god (no capital G, because this is Avoda Zara), as was the case with Par'oh ("לי יאורי ואני עשיתיני"), and as will be the case with Gog. This gog that we're talking about, according to the Rav, is the third and last Gog. He said that this Gog had already conquered Iraq. When he said this he was asked by the audience if he means that George Bush is this Gog, and he said clearly: Yes, George Bush is Gog. He said that Gog will conquer Paras (Iran), and my source doesn't remember but he thinks that there were more places mentioned (he thinks Pakistan was mentioned, but not sure at all). Gog's occupations will grow his self sense of power more and more, because he will reach a feeling that everyone that he makes war with, falls before him. Actually, he will have control of most of the world (apparently this doesn't mean that he'll occupy the whole world, but most of the world will cooperate with him), and this is why he will reach a feeling of godhood, and no one will be able to stand against him.

The only one that will be able to stand against Gog will be Moshiach, when he comes.

Eventually, this Gog will come with all the nations of the world to a war over Jeusalem. There is no way to prevent the war over Jerusalem, and it must happen. HaShem's target in bringing these foreign armies to a war over Jereusalem is to show both the Goyim and the people of Israel how Jerusalem is precious and important.

Apparently, according to what been said, it seems that only there will be the falling of Gog, after the feeling that people will have that he is invincible.

Something else: when I talked to my source about the things that Rav Batzri said on Rosh HaShana, he remembered that the Rav said in another lesson (even before) that 5766 will be a good year to Israel economically speaking, and a new economical source will open for Israel, and the source won't be from the US.

Parshat Ki Tavo Elul 20 /SEPT. 26 '05

Without mentioning anything about the recent statements about natural disasters and making aliyah to Israel, the Rav said that all the things of Rav Kaduri are correct: that Moshiach is already with us, that he has a magen David of a certain measure (this apparently was mentioned by Rav Kaduri -- see this link ). He reminded us that the Ben Ish Chai had promised Rav Kaduri that he would merit to see Melech Hamoshiach, and the fact that today Rav Kaduri is the last person alive who saw the Ben Ish Chai, and he commented something like "and he is already very old" (to say that Moshiach is very close).

Regarding the storms in the US, he drew a connection to the verse "a'avir ruach hatuma min ha'aretz" (I will remove the spirit of impurity from the earth).

He called on everyone to strengthen themselves very much in Torah study before Rosh Hashana; he said this was very important.

He said there are no more opportunities for the Redemption "Achishena" (accelerated), that we are on the path that will bring the redemption only "b'Ita" (in it's time), with all that this implies.

Parshat Ki Tisze Elul 13/SEPT. 18 '05

According to my source the Rav did not comment directly on Rav Kaduri's words, and did not mention him, but he continued to talk about the water that are going to flood the world, and that the name Elokim is implying to that (א-להים is: א-ל and הים). He quoted from an old book, that my source can't seem to remember its name, that says that either in 5765 or in 5766 the water will flood the world (I know for my self that Yalkut Re'uveni brings this, but the time that's given there is 240 years before the seventh millenia, which was in 5760, so this is probably another book).

Commenting on Katrina and New Orleans situation, he said that what we saw in Katrina was the first stage of the future flooding. Hashem does not want to bring the "big" things at once, he desires to bring these פורענויות (punishments?) gradually, so just so that we understand: Katrina was only the VERY FIRST stage, the first taste if you want, from what Hashem is preparing for the world. According to what the Rabbi said, these events will all happen within the year.

Parshat Re'e Av 29/SEPT. 4 '05

The Rav talked about the hurricane in the US and he joined those who say that it came because of what they did to Gush Katif, measure against measure. Then he talked about the divine tendency to sentence in water (like the flood or the egyptians), and that in the future we'll see whole countries wiped out by water (he didn't say if it's far or close future, so this info is actually known), and he said that it'll be done in many different methods: like we saw once drowning and destruction through a tsunami and once drowning and destruction through a hurricane, we'll be surprised in the future by other methods in which the goyim will be sentenced in water.

From one of the things that the Rav said, my source understood that he'd prefer the year 5766 won't come, but rather that 5767 will come instead.

He did say that the last Tisha BAv was the last Tisha BAv that we needed to fast, so the geula is close.

Parshat Va'Etchanan Av 16/AUG. 21 '05

According to my source, the rabbi said that the next stage (Jerusalem) will take place very fast (he mentioned Rice's statements urging Israel for more expulsions). He didn't talk about the rest of the settlements in Judea and Samaria, only about Jerusalem. He mentioned that the news talked about the Arabs preparing all their rockets in Ramalla to target Jerusalem. He described a situation that will happen very soon where the American army will be here (in Israel), and also from all of Europe. He also said that the Yishmaelim will also be here. A little vague here - my source didn't understand whether they all come for a war or something else (such as expelling Jews from their homes; "peacekeeping"; or anything else) - all he understood is that they will be present here soon one way or another.

The rabbi said that the situation in Jerusalem will be according to him "5000 times" worse than what happened in Gush Katif, and the people who will remain there after all the troubles will be called holy (quoting Yesha'ayahu chapter 4 verse 3): "והיה הנשאר בציון, והנותר בירושלים, קדוש ייאמר לו".
He said this is the big test in faith. No matter in Jerusalem or not - many will fail the test. He stressed that we all need to strengthen our faith very much.

He said that the reason that those from the religion of Esau will come to Jerusalem is because מזלייהו חזי [the soul sees on a level above consciousness -- YN] that the truth is about to be revealed in the world. Therefore they will try to desecrate anything holy in Jerusalem, even the holiest places, with their tum'aa.

After they will harm Jerusalem, haShem will go and fight them himself, and then Moshiach will come

Parshat Pinchas Tammuz 16/JULY 24 '05

He said that the Rav had told them that from Shamayim (שמים, heavens) they revealed to him that the only reason the Geula (גאולה, redemption) is not arriving yet is the lack of unity within the people of Israel. Furthermore, they asked him from Shamayim to talk about the subject of unity in Israel, and he asked for everyone to talk about it.

Daniel wrote that he was afraid to write such things as a Rav talking with Shamayim in this generation, because people might not believe it, because almost no one talks this way in our generation. However, to emphasize who this Rav was and still not identify him by name, he added to what he said before that the Rav "himself learned from a renowned tzadik זצוק"ל known for his wonder making and his future sight", that the renowned Tzadik that was the teacher of the Rav was the renowned Rav Nachmani, known for his accurate future sight.

Parshat Korach Sivan 25/JULY 2 '05

Hitnatkut (disengagment)
The Rav said that the Hitnatkut will be carried out! Probably these word astonished the synagogue crowd that claimed it doesn't fit with other Gedolim words and promises. In response he said that this is only his opinion, not a prophecy (Daniel points that in his opinion the Rav said this just in order to avoid arguing with them)

B) The Next Stage
The Rav said that the next step after the completion of the Hitnatkut will be the beginning of the talking about our holy city Yerushalyim (Jerusalem), and handing it over ח"ו to Arabs hands. He claimed that the public debate whether to hand over Yerushlayim or not will be a very fateful debate: this debate is going to be simply "The Final Birur" (Birur = בירור, filtering the bad part from the good part)!

Apparently, in the end of this debate (maybe in the middle of it), those who would support the handing of Yerushalayim to the Arabs are those who "have no Jewish soul"!
After this stage is over, we'll reach the end, and the Geula will start.

C) Water
The Rav mentioned that according to what's written, before the coming of Moshiach we need to wait for a Para Aduma (פרה אדומה, red heifer), because of our tuma'a (טומאה, impurity). But the Rav said that we don't have to wait for the red heifer. The reason is that in the Temple Mount in Yerushalayim the water are now rising. The Rav said he saw them by himself (probably speaking of the Gihon water). He said that eventually the water will go up and will wash everything (or rise above everything or something like that), and these water will be what purify us, and we won't need Para Aduma - - - and then Moshiach will come!

D) Malachim (מלאכים, angels)
The following are statements from the Rav from a few months ago, which was before the Hilula of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai (Lag BaOmer), which means before the Rav said the Geula will be within a year, but when he thoughts it would take a few more years, so maybe this part has already been canceled. But the things are written because they seem related to the things above:
When the Temple was destroyed, there was a certain process that Malachim (מלאכים, angels) needed to go up to Shamayim (שמים, heavens) from the Temple, but what happened was that they didn't make it before the destruction of the Temple, and they were just "stuck" down - in the place of Even HaShtiya (אבן השתייה) (where ther Arabs stuck their obnoxious mosque).

The Rav said that the name of these Malachim is "Er'elim" (אראלים). He explained very seriously the following part:

We all remember that the Arabs started a few years ago a new intifada that they called something like Jerusalem-intifada or Al-Aqsa-intifada. The thing that started the whole mess at that time was that Ariel Sharon (then head of the opposition) went into Temple Mount (this happened almost on the last day of 5760: Sep28/2000, and Sharon declared there that "Every Jew has the right to visit Temple Mount" This happened at the time that PM Barak agreed to hand over to the Arabs 95% of the territories including the holy city Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), but Arafat ימ"ש didn't agree).

The Rav said (a few months ago) that the spiritual reason for all the mess that started then was something like that: the private name of Arik Sharon is Ariel. It seems it has a big meaning (I also think that there is a meaning to the man himself). When he entered Temple Mount at that time, it was a spiritual signal for the Malachim that were stuck there, and "something" woke up with them! Then started the big mess!

The Rav added and said: After a period of not a long time from now, this Malachim will get out from the place that they were "stuck" in when the Temple was destroyed. But their exit won't be something to be seen only by those who have spirtual eyes! Everyone will see the Malachim when they go up to Shamayim!

And then the real mess will start: The Moslems will say that these were their Malachim, and this is a sign from Shamayim that they are the one who control Temple mount, and their control must continue. We will say that these were our Malachim that were stuck there since the Temple was destroyed. This debate will go on, and if the people of Israel will be determined that Yerushalyim is ours, undivided, then we will get the full Geula.

As said, these are things said from a few months ago, and maybe the're not relevant anymore.

Parshat Na'so Sivan 4/JUNE 11 '05

1. The silver clock is a clock of Rahamim (רחמים, mercy) as Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu said. But according to what the Rav said in the lesson, the hour in the clock now is already 12. According to what he said, the meaning of it is that the people of Israel are already deserve Geula from the Rahamim side!

2, The gold clock is indeed a clock of Din (דין, judgement). The Rav didn't elaborate on what the time on that clock. When this clock will arrive to the destined hour, the meaning will be a Nekama (נקמה, vengeance) against the evil Goyim and the Geula of Israel from the side of Din, which is the full Geula that we expect.

Parshat Bechukotai Iyar 19/MAY 28, 2005

Today I heard that over Shabbos there was a regular lecture in a certain shul in central Israel by a known Kabbalist Rav (though not known nationwide).... The lecture was given to a limited audience, and the things that were said were only for this limited audience. Because of this, I can't write here all the details. But before this, I only will say that this Rav is the *only one* (as far as I know) who foresaw the tsunami exactly in time. In front of the same audience, one day before the tsunami, the Rav said that very soon something very hard will happen in India or in California! One day later we already saw the tsunami in the news....

So now I will write this that you should know that until recently this Rav spoke about the geulah and about Moshiach in a distant timeframe. Once he mentioned the year: 5769 (another 4 years from now). But it would seem that something changed his mind after the Hilula of the Rashbi (L'ag B'Omer), and in the last lecture he said that Moshiach should come within the coming year, and he based this on a hint in the verses referring to the Exodus from Egypt--from those verses we see that Moshiach comes 234 years before the year 6000 (because...the Messianic Era is before the 7000th year, and we are guaranteed by the tzaddikim that it is at least 200 years prior). Thus, as is known, when the year 5765 began we were 235 years away from the year 6000, and now we are approximately 234.4 years from the year 6000, which indicates that we apparently are very close. He didn't speak about a specific season, but on the year that it will happen, which suggests that it will be either 5765 or 5766; in any event, not more than a year.

From what I heard, the people in the shul received this with shock/excitement.
